A new simple circuit for producing high-voltage nano- and subnanosecond pulses at high repetition rates is presented. Output peak voltages and rise times are 6 kV, 2 ns or 8 kV, 0.1 ns. Only standard commercial components are employed. Diode parameters that limit achievable voltage levels have been studied.
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.
