Abstract

In a switching arrangement for applying a pulse to a load, for example a magnetron, a plurality of FET modules are stacked along the longitudinal axis and surrounded by a housing enclosing four capacitors. The capacitor means provides a current return path for current applied via the FET switches of the modules the coaxial current cancelling construction of the arrangement results in low circuiting conductance. The capacitance may be sufficiently large to provide electrostatic screening.
