Linear analysis of the electromechanical pulser

With the increasingly higher peak power requirements for radar, thermonuclear research, and other purposes, the electromechanical generation of such pulsed power is becoming more and more important. An electromechanical pulse generator or simply an electromechanical pulser, as such a device may be called, can take a variety of possible forms.1 However, generally any of the possible forms can be reduced electrically to a system of two or more coils, connected both inductively and conductively. Inductive coupling is basic to the functioning of the device, whereas conductive coupling can help to increase the useful power output.
