ABSTRACT:
A high voltage switch tube with a central cathode cylindrically symmetric to and surrounded by a tubular anode, with a grid interposed between the cathode and anode. A high negative voltage is applied to the cathode, but the flow of electrons to the anode is blocked by the grid which is held near cathode potential. After a space charge is created at the grid by electrons from the cathode, the grid is pulsed to ground potential, releasing electrons from the cathode to yield a very high current pulse. The cathode is preferably a graphite foam sleeve mounted on a support structure.
