Abstract
A pulse forming network, responsive to a DC power supply, supplies predetermined current waveforms to a load in response to commands from a programmed source. Plural inductors are connected to switches responsive to commands from the programmed source. The switches are controlled to couple the inductors to the DC source to charge the inductors to a predetermined current level that is maintained substantially constant. The predetermined current level in each inductor is supplied to the load by switches controlled by the programmed source so that during successive intervals the predetermined constant current levels from differing numbers of the inductors flow from the inductors to the load. The inductance of each inductor, the load impedance and the duration current is supplied to the load by the inductors are such that the predetermined current level supplied by each inductor to the load is maintained relatively constant.
