Remote Generation of Intense Pulsed Electric Fields in Water
Abstract
The work will present the most recent phase in the development of a GW-class pulsed power generator intended for medical and biological applications. Based on a Tesla transformer charged Blumlein pulse forming line, the generator output is connected to a bipolar former capable of producing approximately sinusoidal 1 GHz, 600 kV peak-to-peak voltage impulses. The bipolar output feeds an elliptical reflector immersed in water to focus the electromagnetic radiation in a small volume. The design of the overall arrangement will be outlined, together with the best results obtained by the use of a high-frequency bandwidth electro-optic sensor. [no pdf]
