Abstract :
Generation of square pulses from a new type of inductive energy storage pulsed power systein, the dual of the Blumlein line, with a photoconductive semiconductor opening switch is reported. The unique feature of the dual of the Blumlein line is that the opening switch is located at the end of the transmission line, thus the output voltage pulse across the load resistance does not suffer from the switch interference.
