Pseudospark Switches (pss) for Pulsed Power Applications

Basing on the pseudospark discharge, a low pressure gas discharge in a special geometry, fast closing switches for different pulsed power applications have been designed. Medium power PSS (< 30 kA peak current) were used in laser circuits whereas high current PSS are tested successfully in high current pulsed power applications (< 200 kA). For currents of a few kA the discharge is supported by ...

Direct coupling of pulsed radio frequency and pulsed high power in novel pulsed power system for plasma immersion ion implantation.

A novel power supply system that directly couples pulsed high voltage (HV) pulses and pulsed 13.56 MHz radio frequency (rf) has been developed for plasma processes. In this system, the sample holder is connected to both the rf generator and HV modulator. The coupling circuit in the hybrid system is composed of individual matching units, low pass filters, and voltage clamping units. This ensures...

Ultra Wideband Antennas for High Pulsed Power Applications

1.1 UWB antennas in the field of high pulsed power For the last few years, the generation of high-power electromagnetic waves has been one of the major applications of high pulsed power (HPP). It has aroused great interest in the scientific community since it is at the origin of several technological advances. Several kinds of high power radiation sources have been created. There currently appe...

High - Speed Data Systems for Pulsed Power Applications

Data acquisition systems for pulse power applications generally must provide nanosecond resolution, operate in an environment of high levels of electromagnetic interference, and acquire significant amounts of data simultaneously. To meet these demands, electrical systems have been used and optical systems are being introduced. Voluntary standards have been and are being developed which categori...
