We report the design and development of a high repetition rate pseudospark trigger generator for operating pseudospark switches with a low impedance of approximately 50 Omega between the trigger pins. The trigger generator can be operated from a single-shot mode up to a repetition rate of 1 kHz. It produces 3 kV, 1 mus pulses into a 100 Omega load to trigger a single pseudospark gap. Also, with the addition of a self-break spark gap and pulse forming network, the trigger generator can be used to trigger a pseudospark gap with low jitter. In this configuration, it produces 300 ns, 3 kV pulses with rise time of 10 ns. The jitter between trigger pulses applied to the pseudospark is less than 1 ns.
我们报告了一种高重复率伪火花触发发生器的设计与开发，该发生器用于操作触发引脚之间具有约50Ω低阻抗的伪火花开关。该触发发生器可以从单脉冲模式运行至1kHz的重复率。它能向100Ω负载产生3kV、1μs的脉冲，以触发单个伪火花间隙。此外，通过增加一个自击穿火花间隙和脉冲形成网络，该触发发生器可用于触发具有低抖动的伪火花间隙。在此配置下，它能产生300ns、3kV的脉冲，上升时间为10ns。施加到伪火花上的触发脉冲之间的抖动小于1ns。
