ABSTRACT:
A modulator for producing repetitive short high voltage pulses is provided. The modulator includes a high voltage power supply, a plurality of pulse forming networks each capable of being charged to a potential equal to twice the voltage of the high voltage power supply, and a plurality of switches interconnecting the pulse forming networks. The switches have a first state connecting the pulse forming networks in parallel with the high voltage power supply to charge the pulse forming networks, and a second state connecting the pulse forming networks in series to discharge the pulse forming networks into a load. The pulse forming networks are charged by use of a resonant charging technique. The modulator further includes an input configured to receive a triggering pulse, the triggering pulse causing the switches to change from the first state to the second state.
