A pulse generator using nonlinear magnetic cores

Abstract

INCREASING EMPHASIS on the reliability of the components used in electronic equipment has resulted in the increased use of solid-state devices such as transistors and nonlinear magnetic cores. These devices have been used to replace limited life items, such as hydrogen thyratrons, electron tubes, etc. The pulse generator presented here is an example of the application of nonlinear magnetic cores to improve the reliability of a radar system modulator.
