Abstract
A high voltage, fast pulse rise/fall time, and high repetition rate pulse generator solves the high pulse repetition rate limitations associated with RF power amplifiers and gap switch type pulse generators. The pulse generator employs a transmission line architecture and structural techniques that allow for continued high voltage, fast rise/fall time, and high repetition pulse rate operation of the pulse generator without impairment of the pulse generator while exceeding performance characteristics achievable with conventional RF power amplifiers and gap switch type pulse generators.
