Abstract
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.
