HIGH-VOLTAGE PULSE GENERATOR AND METHOD FOR GENERATING HIGH-VOLTAGE PULSES

摘要

The invention relates to a high-voltage pulse generator, in which the high-voltage pulses provided are transformed to a higher voltage level by means of a transformation network (3-i) before being coupled into a coaxial conductor arrangement (4), in which the individual high-voltage pulses are superimposed. Said transformation network (3-i) allows the switching operations in the high-voltage pulse transformer to be carried out at a lower voltage level, thus allowing the use of switching elements (2-i) with a lower voltage sustaining capability.
