Abstract :
A compact high-voltage nanosecond generator is described with pulse repetition rate of up to 1000 pps. The generator includes a 30-Ω coaxial forming line charged by a built-in Tesla transformer with high coupling coefficient, and a high voltage (N2) gas gap switch with gas circulating between the electrodes. The maximum forming line charge voltage is 450 kV, the pulse duration is ~4 ns, and its amplitude for a matched load is up to 200 kV. The generator has been applied to create powerful sources of ultrawide-band electromagnetic radiation and nanosecond microwave pulses
