Abstract :
This paper details the construction of a sub-nanosecond pulse generator capable of delivering 250 kV into a high impedance load. The pulse width is approximately 600ps with a voltage rise of up to 1 MV/ns. The pulse rise-time can be adjusted by manipulation of a peaking gap, whereas the pulse-width can be changed by adjusting a novel tail-cut switch located close to the load.
