- Abstract:
- A high-power short-pulse generator based on the dual action of two coupled diodes, a high-voltage step recovery diode and a high-current diode, is presented. This is made possible using a gas discharge tube. Both analysis and SPICE simulation show about 20-dB peak power increment. This gives a high output power level of 5.7 MW with 1-ns pulsewidth and 450-kHz repetition rate obtained from an input average power of 7.1 kW. An efficiency of about 73% is obtained with more than 30 dB increase in the average power delivered to a 50-Ω load
