Abstract :
Surface acoustic waves have many useful characteristics. One which has not previously received much attention is the fact that the input and output terminals are highly isolated electrically. This characteristic can be employed advantageously in high-voltage thyristor firing systems. We will describe the design of such a system and present experimental results.
