Control of the Shape of High-Current, High-Voltage Pulses Generated by an Artificial Line

摘要

Several devices used in plasma physics, accelerator technology, etc., are supplied by current and voltage pulses of rectangular shape. When the load is variable or nonlinear, circuits containing active and passive loops incorporating a time delay are used to obtain the required pulse shape. These circuits are so expensive and time-consuming to design and develop, that it is desirable to develop a way to model them on a computer. Calculations necessarily include some simplifications, since some parameters can only be determined precisely by physical measurements on the finished device. The solution is described.
