Abstract
A power supply unit for an X-ray radiation source (10) comprises a high voltage generator (4) for providing a basic current for the operation of an X-ray tube (10), a waveform generator (6) and a pulse transformer (2) for providing superposable voltage peaks and a control unit (8) for generating a counterbalance at an input (12) of the pulse transformer (2) to prevent saturation effects. Providing different reference waveform patterns lead to the prevention of overshooting and ringing.
