Semiconductor saturating reactor pulsers
First Claim
1. IN A PULSE GENERATOR, IN COMBINATION, A SOURCE OF DIRECT CURRENT, SWITCHING CIRCUIT MEANS INCLUDING AN INDUCTOR AND A NORMALLY OPEN SEMICONDUCTOR SWITCH CONNECTED IN SERIES, CIRCUIT MEANS CONNECTED ACROSS SAID SOURCE OF DIRECT CURRENT AND INCLUDING IN SERIES IN THE ORDER NAMED AN ADDITIONAL INDUCTOR, A FIRST CAPACITOR, A FIRST SATURABLE INDUCTOR, A SECOND SATURABLE INDUCTOR, LOAD MEANS, AND LEAD MEANS, SAID SWITCHING CIRCUIT MEANS BEING CONNECTED FROM THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE SECOND INDUCTOR AND FIRST CAPACITOR TO SAID LEAD MEANS, A SECOND CAPACITRO CONNECTED FROM SAID LEAD MEANS TO THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE FIRST CAPACITOR AND THE FIRST SATURABLE INDUCTOR, AND A THIRD CAPACITOR CONNECTED FROM SAID LEAD MEANS TO THE JUNCTION BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND SATURABLE INDUCTORS, THE FIRST CAPACITOR, FIRST INDUCTOR, AND SECOND CAPACITOR FORMING A MESH, THE SECOND CAPACITOR, FIRST SATURABLE INDUCTOR, AND THIRD CAPACITOR FORMING ANOTHER CIRCUIT MESH, AND THE THIRD CAPACITOR, SECOND SATURABLE INDUCTOR, AND LOAD MEANS FORMING AN ADDITIONAL CIRCUIT MESH, CURRENT FROM SAID DIRECT CURRENT SOURCE CHARGING SAID FIRST CAPACITOR TO A PREDETERMINED VOLTAGE WHILE SAID SEMICONDUCTOR SWITCH IS OPEN, THE CLOSING OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR SWITCH CAUSING SAID FIRST CAPACITOR TO TRANSFER ITS CHARGE TO SAID SECOND CAPACITOR, SAID SECOND CAPACITOR THEREAFTER TRANSFERRING ITS CHARGE TO THE THIRD CAPACITOR, SAID THIRD CAPACITOR DELIVERING A PULSE TO SAID LOAD MEANS, THE TIME CONSTANTS OF THE MESH, OTHER MESH, AND ADDITIONAL MESH BEING PROGRESSIVELY SHORTER TO RESULT IN A SHARPENED PULSE TO THE LOAD MEANS.
