Abstract
A pulse forming system for providing constant power pulses for variably resistive loads is disclosed. It includes a high voltage power source, a pulse forming network, and a transformer circuit. The high voltage power source outputs a voltage signal with a level of about 200 kV. The pulse forming network receives the voltage signal and outputs a droop compensated rectangular pulse with a selected pulse width, a selected PFN frequency at a first voltage level and a first current value. The transformer receives and transforms the output of the pulse forming network into a selected voltage level and a selected current value for the load while retaining the selected pulse width and PFN frequency.
