Abstract
A high energy, high voltage pulsed power source is provided which is capable of operating at high repetition rates while not having significantly high voltages appearing at any point in the circuit except on the output line. This eliminates the need for Freon cooling the source, permitting conventional water cooling and/or air cooling techniques to be utilized, and also permits air to be used as a dielectric in the source. These advantages are achieved by commutating the voltage across a charged capacitor, using a solid state SCR or other suitable switching device, passing the resultant signal through at least one compressor stage, which reduces the pulse duration and increases the pulse voltage, and applying the output from the compressor in parallel to a primary winding on each of a plurality of transformer coils having a single wire passing therethrough. The output on the wire is equal to the compressor output voltage multiplied by the number of cores. Higher voltages may be obtained by connecting a number of the sources in series.
