Abstract :
A ferrite-loaded coaxial line has been developed for operation with axial magnetic field bias at a 100 kV input pulse voltage. Output rise times of 85 ps are obtained at 90 kV into a 50 Ω load. These results confirm that rapid shock wave switching based on the stimulation of damped gyromagnetic precession can be effectively exploited in relatively large diameter beads as a means of obtaining <100 ps rise times at high pulse voltages
