Abstract
A system for generating pulsed power, including: an input receiving an input pulse; a pulse generator generating high voltage pulses including a first input receiving a signal from the input pulse in a charge phase of the generator and a second input receiving a trigger signal of a discharge phase of the generator; a control circuit connected to both the input for receiving the input pulse and to the second input of the generator, the control circuit configured to generate a trigger signal when the end of the input pulse is detected.
Claims10
A system for generating pulsed power, comprising:
- an input receiving an input pulse;
- a pulse generator generating high voltage pulses, the pulse generator including a first input and a second input;
- a voltage boosting circuit arranged between the input receiving the input pulse and the first input of the pulse generator;
- and
- a control circuit connected to both the input for receiving the input pulse and to the second input of the pulse generator, the control circuit being configured to detect the end of the input pulse and to generate a trigger signal of a discharge phase of the pulse generator when the end of the input pulse is detected, the control circuit including a differentiator circuit configured to detect a positive or negative part of the derivative of the input pulse and a triggering circuit configured to supply the trigger signal to the second input of the pulse generator following the detection, by the differentiator circuit, of a positive or negative part of the derivative of the input pulse.
A method for generating high pulsed power by a system which comprises an input receiving an input pulse, a high voltage pulse generator including a first input and a second input, and a voltage boosting circuit arranged between the input receiving the input pulse and the first input of the high voltage pulse generator, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a differentiator circuit, a positive or negative part of the derivative of the input pulse;
- and
- following detection by the differentiator circuit of a positive or negative part of the derivative of the input pulse, generating and supplying, by a triggering circuit, to the second input of the high voltage pulse generator a trigger signal of a discharge phase of the high voltage pulse generator.
