Abstract
A bipolar pulse generator circuit generates bipolar pulses and provides an impedance transformation. The circuit is amenable for implementation in a variety of configurations depending on the size and pulse width requirements for the design. It also maximizes energy transfer and may be implemented in a straight forward, easy manner. The generator may be implemented with one or two switches in a three, five or more transmission line implementation and may include inductive stub, which is inherent element of transmission line transformers. The generator may also be implemented in a multi-layer folded configuration, with or without the addition of a ground potential conductor. The generator may also be implemented in stacked or/and balanced configurations.
Claims27
A bipolar pulse generator, comprising:
- a closing switch;
- and
- charged transmission line conductors;
- and
- a load;
- wherein the closing switch generates a bipolar pulse by discharging the transmission line conductors and wherein the generator provides an impedance transformation and maximizes energy transfer, including an inductive stub in parallel with the load.
