Multiple resonance networks with incomplete energy transfer and operating with zero-state response

This paper discusses two closely related classes of linear "multiple resonance networks". The first class, instead of transferring all the energy in an input capacitor or inductor to the output capacitance of the network, leaves part of the energy in the input circuit. The other class operates with zero-state response, accumulating energy coming from an input sinusoidal voltage source, and at a certain instant delivering it completely to the output capacitance of the network. It is shown that the second class can be directly derived from the first class. Both kinds of networks find applications in high-voltage generators for pulsed power applications.
