Abstract :
A 50 Ω charged coaxial line generator has been developed to produce extremely well-defined single-shot voltage pulses of amplitudes in excess of 1 kV, which are free from overshoot and ringing. The width of the pulses is adjustable from 0.7 ns to 250 ns with estimated rise-times as low as 105 ps. When driving a matched 50 Ω load, the amplitude of the first reflected pulse replica is of less than 0.5% of the peak voltage of the main pulse
