Abstract :
A prototype of an impulse generation system based on a corona current charging mechanism is presented. The system is capable of delivering 30 kV short pulses of about 1 ns of rise time. To simulate the generator pulse repetition frequency an electric model based on the unipolar corona charge current approximation was developed. The results obtained using the developed model are compared with experimental data showing good agreement.
