Formation of High-Voltage Pulses with Nanosecond Fronts in Low-Impedance Loads

The results of physical and mathematical modelling of the processes of sharpening of electromagnetic waves as they propagate along a forming line (FL) on nonlinear capacitors are presented. The nonlinear dielectric properties of the MLCCs of X7R type were investigated at their operation in non-standard modes with application of voltages up to units of kilovolts. The possibility of these capacitors usage as a working medium for pulsed power generators with sharpening FL is shown.
