Abstract

A measurement method of sudden voltage transients using coupled transmission lines is considered in the time domain. This method enables us to measure the high speed and high voltage transients in and out of contact with the main circuit. The voltage rise curves of the transient at the making of electrical contacts were examined to get positive proof for the measurement method. In the experiment, we used the coupled transmission lines and the distributed constant experimental system. It was confirmed that the measurement method made it possible to measure the high speed voltage transients to about 100 ps
