A semiconductor opening switch-based quasi-rectangular pulse generator operating into a low-impedance load

摘要

A generator with a semiconductor opening switch (SOS-diode) operating into a low-impedance load of 4-5 Ω is studied. The amplitude of quasi-rectangular pulses is 50 kV at a half-height duration of 100 ns. The energy is applied from an intermediate storage via a spark gap to the output generator stage. The output pulse is formed by solid-state components.
