Low-jitter generators of high-voltage pulses with a subnanosecond rise time and an increased actuation accuracy

Two low-jitter high-voltage pulse generators with a subnanosecond rise time are described. The generators are connected in the Marx circuit and have t he following characteristics: the amplitude of the output pulse developed a cross a 50-Omega load is 50 and 70 kV, respectively; duration df the pulse edge is no more than 0.3 ns; operating frequency is up to 10 pulses/s. The instability of the delay of the pulse edge relative to the edge of the low- voltage triggering pulse does not exceed 10 and 30 ns for the first and sec ond generator, respectively. The generators are designed for exact synchron ization of the facility used in experiments on the subnanosecond pulsed bre akdown.
