“…Fig. 9 shows results obtained with an N-type V-dot probe mounted in a coaxial TL, at the output of a bipolar former [14] and about 100 mm from its spark-gap. The TL has an open end and the measured reflected signals seem to look much 'better' than the direct signals i.e., they are less distorted.…”

“…This paper, representing the third phase of the Loughborough program aiming at developing noninvasive PEF systems, is using the second Baum arrangement. In the first phase, a 10-GW generator was built and tested [7], while in the second phase, a bipolar former (BF) was demonstrated to modulate and condition the generator voltage output to allow the efficient coupling to an antenna [8].…”

A prolate spheroidal reflector was designed, manufactured, and attached to a bipolar former at the output of a 10-GW-Tesla-driven Blumlein pulsed power generator. The reflector, operated in water, is capable of producing intense pulsed electric fields of the order of 50 kV/cm. Constructional details are provided, together with experimental results, and a detailed analysis using 3-D software modeling of the reflector that provides results in good agreement with experimental data.

Impulse excitation of the tuned primary circuit of a Tesla transformer generates a voltage and current response in the similarly tuned secondary circuit that contains both a fundamental component and a series of multiple higher-order modes. This paper investigates the most significant of these modes, in order to demonstrate a design approach that, when applied to the secondary winding, can bring about a reduction in the higher-order modes without significantly affecting the fundamental term. The resulting process leads to an improved spectral purity of the transformer output, making it better suited than existing conventional designs for application in electronic warfare and other high-power systems.
