Electrical high power pulse generator

WIPO Patent Application WO2000005813

A3

A system for providing high power pulses into a load, the system comprising: a load; a Capacitor Charging Power Supply (CCPS) for providing a plurality of low power pulses; a pulsed power circuit receiving the low power pulses from the CCPS, and providing high power pulses to the load, said pulsed power circuit comprising: a) a first storage capacitor for storing the charge, said charge resulting from a plurality of said low power pulses; b) controlled switching means, said switching means being timely turned ON for allowing the first storage capacitor to discharge the accumulated charge resulting from the plurality of low power pulses received, thereby providing a pulse of current; and c) pulse compression means, said pulse compression means receiving a current pulse resulting from the first storage capacitor discharge, and providing to the load a pulse of higher current and shorter duration than the current pulse it received. The system is characterized in that it comprises an inductor of high inductance in the branch linking the CCPS and the pulsed power, said inductor of high inductance enabling recovery of the energy reflected from the load, and protecting components of the CCPS from damage that may be caused by said energy reflected from the load.
