1. A pulse charging apparatus for providing pulse charges based on a DC high voltage to a load comprising:
- a DC high-voltage generator;
a capacitor that is charged by a DC high voltage output from the DC high-voltage generator;
switching means having a series combination of a first electron tube and a stationary gap for switching charges stored on the capacitor to provide a pulse-like high voltage to the load; and
control means for controlling the operation of the electron tube.

Abstract
A pulse charging apparatus includes a DC high-voltage generator, a capacitor that is charged by a DC high voltage output from the DC high-voltage generator, a switching unit for switching charges stored on the capacitor to provide a pulse-like high voltage to a load, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the switching unit. The switching unit consists of a series combination of an electron tube and a stationary gap. The control unit controls the operation of the electron tube.
