OSTI ID:5545467
A compact 50 kilovolt pulser has been developed as a gas switch trigger. This unit combines a grounded grid thyratron with a ferrite loaded step-up transformer to provide the required output voltage. A magnetic switch at the output brings the risetime down to the ten nanosecond range. Unit operation is specified into a 25 ohm resistive load. Integral with the pulser package is the necessary low level support electronics to power the thyratron and to provide trigger and diagnostic functions. Package volume is less than .02 m/sup 3/.
