The analysis, design, and operation of high-voltage, transformer-coupled LC vector inversion generators are presented and discussed. The transformer-coupled LC inversion generator is easy to construct and, compared with Marx-type generators and conventional LC vector inversion generators, requires only one inversion switch, independent of the number of voltage multiplication stages. The transfo...

We consider the design problem for a Marx generator electrical network, a pulsed power generator. The engineering specification of the design is that a suitable resonance condition is satisfied by the circuit so that the energy initially stored in a number of stage capacitors is transferred in finite time to a single load capacitor which can then store the total energy and deliver the pulse. We...

High power ultra wideband (UWB) systems can be used for various applications like buried target detection, electrical characterization of materials, space debris detection and as a source for vulnerability studies on electronic circuits. Two high power UWB radiator systems have been developed at APPD, BARC Mumbai. The first one is a 120 kV, 66 Ohm system which uses balanced Transverse Electroma...

An injector design for the long pulse option for the second axis of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARHT) has been studied. This design is based on the LBNL Heavy Ion Fusion Injector technology. The proposed injector consists of a single gap diode extracting electrons from a thermionic source and powered through a high voltage ceramic insulator column by a Marx generator. The ke...

This paper is a response to the question ``can radical geography also be postmodern?'' It is argued that the answer to this question is ``yes'' and that this is so because of the contingent, socially constructed nature of the social relations through which the universal but geographically differentiated practices of social reproduction take place. The possibility of radical impulses within post...
