Nanosecond pulse generators with fast rise times are used in vacuum electronics for modulation of electron-beam current. The authors have developed a compact generator using low-power transistors that produces pulses with an amplitude of up to several hundred volts and a duration of from a few nanoseconds to tens of nanoseconds, has good stability, is easily synchronized, and has a maximum repetition frequency of up to tens of kilohertz. The pulses were shaped by a storage line with distributed parameters (a coaxial cable), whose length determined the pulse duration, and a short-circuited line was used to obtain a short fall time.
