Triple transmission line type subnanosecond pulse-compression device

A compact type high power subnanosecond pulse former which is based on triple transmission line type pulse compression is presented in this paper. The pulse former is designed and simulations are carried out through adopting Pspice software, the simulation has verified the analysis. An experiment based on the pulse power generator CKP1000 has been made to study the complete pulse-compression system. The results show that when the input pulse width is 5 ns, the output pulse can be compressed to be 800 ps in half-width and the front edge is only 400 ps. The power gain is up to 1.8.
