A High-Voltage Subnanosecond Impulse Generator

如果高压脉冲能够以低抖动和高重复率产生，基带雷达的应用数量将会增加，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将沉积到传输线上。在50欧姆的线路上产生的脉冲最终预期峰值在几千伏或更高的范围内，宽度为100皮秒或更短的一半，抖动小于1皮秒，重复频率为1000赫兹或更高。

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.
