Method of analyzing wave processes in pulse generators based on stepped transmission lines

There is described a method of theoretical analysis of wave processes in high-voltage pulse generators through the relations between integral values reflecting regularities of energy transfer in ideal transmission lines. The use of the developed method considerably simplifies the procedure of searching for optimal - from the point of view of getting maximal efficiency - relation of impedances for pulse facilities on stepped lines including those with arbitrary number of cascades. High efficiency of the method is demonstrated by two examples.
