Abstract
A novel plasma switch concept combines major advantages of both hard tubes and thyratrons. It promises kdlohertz rep capability, high average power handling, 180-kV holdoff, nanosecond range rise time, and may be distributed to match nearly any transmission line geometry for low-impedance applications.
