Abstract
A buried reed, extra-short pulse width pulser is an extra fast rise and fall time short pulse width pulser with very high voltage output. A typical pulser may have a 10 picosecond rise and fall time, a 500 picosecond flat top time, and up to a 1000 volt output. The output impedance of the pulser is normally 50 ohms. A reed switch provides switching between a center conductor of a charged line and an output line to provide the output pulses. The reed switch is buried within the pulser forming an integral part of the center conductors.
Claims9
A buried reed, short pulse width pulser comprising:
- first and second coaxial conductors disposed coaxially aligned with respective first ends thereof substantially adjacent, coupling means electrically connected between respective first ends of said coaxial conductors for controllably providing an electrical path therebetween, gating means coaxially disposed circumferentially around said coupling means and said conductor ends for controllably activating said coupling means, cylindrical housing means encompassing said gating means, coupling means, and coaxial conductors, said housing means being electrically conductive, first and second connecting means, said first connecting means being coupled to the second end of said second conductor for providing electrical coupling external to said housing, said second connecting means being coupled to the second end of said first conductor for providing output coupling from said conductor external to said housing.
