Vn. Rai et al., A TRANSISTORIZED MARX BANK CIRCUIT PROVIDING SUBNANOSECOND HIGH-VOLTAGE PULSES, Measurement science & technology, 5(4), 1994, pp. 447-449
An improved version of a Marx bank circuit has been developed using 2N
5551/2N5550 transistors as switching elements in avalanche mode which
provides a negative pulse of about 4 kV amplitude and less-than-or-equ
al-to 1 ns rise time. The circuit has about 14 ns delay and less-than-
or-equal-to 1 ns jitter.
