A High-Voltage Subnanosecond Impulse Generator

如果能够以低抖动和高重复率产生高电压脉冲，基带雷达的更多应用将变得可行，并将产生新的业务。在第一阶段，将建造一个脉冲发生器，其中来自强脉冲电子束的电荷被沉积到传输线上。在50欧姆线路上产生的脉冲最终预计具有几千伏或更大的范围内的峰值，以及100皮秒或更小的一半宽度，抖动小于1皮秒，以及重复率为1千赫或更大。

If high voltage impulses could be produced with low jitter and high repetition rates, an increased number of applications for baseband radar would become feasible, and new business would result. In Phase I, an impulse generator will be constructed in which charge from an intense pulsed electron beam is deposited onto a transmission line. Impulses produced on a 50 ohm line are ultimately expected to have peaks in the range of several kilovolts or more, and half widths of 100 picoseconds or less, with jitters of less than one picosecond, and repetition rates of one kilohertz or more.
