Abstract :
A new approach to switching a succession of kicker magnets using a single switch is described. This technique can be used when different timing delay and power inputs are needed for each kicker. The approach is straight forward and is limited only by the pulse length. Timing jitter between kickers becomes a function of the switch diodes and the transmission lines, rather than the accumulated jitter of individual switches. It is likely that this approach can be used whenever a repeatable pulse train, with arbitrary individual pulse amplitudes, needs to be generated from a single switch and trigger
