A high-voltage, short-risetime pulse generator is described. The generator consists of a Marx bank, which produces an initial high-voltage pulse, and a ferrite pulse sharpener that reduces the risetime of the pulse. The generator delivers 70-kV, 350-ps risetime pulses into a 50-Ω load.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
