Abstract :
This paper discusses the modeling of a peaking switch to study the reduction in rise time for the subnanosecond duration pulses. The effect of the various shapes of input pulse, inductance, and interelectrode distance on the output voltage and wave shape is discussed in this paper. The modeling has been carried out using the electromagnetic and microwave modeling software of Computer Simulation Technology.
