High frequency multi-purpose pulse generator

Applications for this pulse generator include: metal surface modification by electron beam, sterilization of water solution by generation of a powerful electromagnetic wave, sterilization of food products and medical apparatus, sterilization of wood, destruction of rock, excitation of laser radiation, cleaning gas ejections of thermal stations from toxic SO/sub x/ and NO/sub x/ by a positive pulse corona. Generator technical parameters (on an equivalent load /spl sim/ 20 Ohm): voltage 120 kV, pulse duration 500 ns, rise time 180 ns, frequency 100 Hz, efficiency 80%. This paper presents the results of the development project and testing of the generator model.
