Abstract
A pulse generator for generating an HPEM pulse includes a Marx generator having a plurality of capacitors that are connected in series between two output poles, providing a Marx voltage between the output poles during operation of the Marx generator. A DS resonator has two input poles and each of the input poles is connected to a respective one of the output poles by a respective supply line. The capacitors are physically disposed along a profile line having two ends at each of which a respective one of the output poles is located. A distance between the output poles is smaller than a longitudinal extent of the Marx generator along the profile line.
