Abstract :
A Pulse Forming Network (PFN) with mutual coupling has been designed, developed and tested for its performance as a pulsed (~100 μs) high voltage (up to 10 KV) source for washer gun plasma production in SYMPLE (SYstem for Microwave PLasma Experiments). Detailed account of the PFN parameters as well as the test results on plasma discharge production is presented here.
