Abstract
It is difficult to ascertain the detail behavior of multichannel gap switches from experimental studies only. The behavior of multichannel gap switches is investigated by a numerical analysis. The waveforms of the output voltage are numerically obtained and the statistical characteristics of a pulsed power switch are evaluated. The numerical analysis is useful for designing the switches and to investigate the breakdown phenomena
