  • Abstract
    The processes determining the time and amplitude characteristics of the grid-controlled electron emission from the plasma of an arc discharge have been analysed. It has been shown that by applying to the grid confining the plasma emission boundary of a modulated voltage it is possible to form current pulse of up to 1 kA with nanosecond risetimes and falltimes and a pulse repetitive rate of 100 kHz.
