Fast-Switching High Voltage Waveform Generator
First Claim
1. A high-voltage waveform generator comprising:
- a power source,a transformer unit comprisinga magnetic core, attached to said power source,a plurality of power switch cards, each having an aperture that allows said magnetic core to pass therethrough,one or more control switches located on each power card, anda control means for actuating said control switches,a power output;
wherein said power switch cards are connected in series,wherein each of said apertures in said power switch cards is surrounded by conductive windings,whereby when said power source is activated, said magnetic core induces a current in each of said conductive windings, andwherein said control means activates said control switches simultaneously in under 100 nanoseconds to generate a pulse.
