1. A pulse generator system, comprising:

  • an inductive storage device configured to perform a charging process using a high current received from a first power supply, wherein the inductive storage device comprises a first end and a second end;

    a switch powered by a second power supply and configured to receive a step signal through a gate driver for controlling a repetition rate of the inductive storage device charging process and a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of an output pulse;

    a bypass capacitor, wherein the inductive storage device is connected with the switch on the first end and the bypass capacitor on the second end; and

    a pulse shaping circuit coupled between the switch and a load for shaping the output pulse, the pulse shaping circuit comprising an inductor and a capacitor connected in series, wherein the pulse shaping circuit is configured to shape the output pulse responsive to adjustments in values of the inductor and the capacitor.
