Abstract

A pulse generator adapted for providing electrical pulses to a reactive load circuit. First and second energy storage circuits are coupled to the reactive load circuit and to each other by means of switching devices such that energy initially stored within the first energy storage circuit is sequentially circulated to the reactive load, then to the second energy storage circuit and back to the first energy storage circuit. In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention which is especially adapted for high repetition rate applications, a plurality of the above described pulse producing circuits are coupled in parallel and are controlled to operate in multiphase operational cycles so that each section produces one output pulse during each operational cycle.
