HIGH STRENGTHLY HIGH QUADRANGULAR SHAPE POWER PULSE GENERATOR WITH ADJUSTABLE SLOPE

摘要

The invention relates to a high-power pulse generator of the LTD family comprising two series of power modules, a series of standard modules (3s) and a series of modified modules (3m), each comprising a switch (6s). 6m), provided with a tripping electrode (9s; 9m), placed in series between two capacitors (4s; 4m), the modified modules being adapted to produce a pulse at a frequency substantially triple the frequency of the standard modules, and a triggering device (13) adapted to control the switches (6s; 6m) standard and modified by the same trigger signal applied to their triggering electrode (9s; 9m), the generator (1) being characterized in that the trigger signal is applied to the switches through a trip impedance (10m; 10s), distinct between the standard and modified modules, and in that the slope of the generated pulse plateau depends on the difference between the value of the standard impedance and that of the modified impedance.
