Abstract :
Special features of high-voltage measurements with a study of picosecond discharge and emissive processes in gas-filled and vacuum gaps are examined. We discuss a specificity of reflectometry procedure in investigations of resistive properties variations for such nonlinear loads of high-voltage pulse generators. The measurement method providing the possibility to minimize distortions of the signal reflected from dynamic load is analyzed.
