Abstract :
Experiments have been performed to investigate the operating modes of a generator of 2/spl times/500-ps bipolar high-voltage, nanosecond pulses with the double amplitude (270 kV) close to that of the charge pulse of the RADAN-303 nanosecond driver. The generator contains an additional peaker shortening the risetime of the starting pulse and a pulse-forming line with two untriggered gas gaps operating with a total jitter of 200 ps.
