Abstract
A multikilovolt nanosecond pulse generator has been developed which uses a new approach to the design of an extremely fast gas‐discharge switch. The design concept is based on the statistical time lag which precedes an electrical breakdown. The generator also employs large coaxial geometry so that extremely high operating voltages may be used. A description of instrumentation required to measure the fast risetime, high voltage pulses is included along with some typical oscilloscope traces.Keywords
