Hi.
I am stuck.
For magnetic force experiments I need to develop a circuit with parameters listed below:
pulse width: few nanoseconds (1-5 ns).
pulse rise time (very important here): < 1ns
pulse fall time: not important, can be more than 10ns
pulse current: >1 kiloamps.
repetitions rate (important): > 1 mhz.
load: strait copper wire 2.5 sq.mm with length 300-400 mm.
jitter: not important.
I've attached a scratch of what i want.
In other words I need to put a high current pulse with picosecond rise time into a straight wire.
I have looked through lots of articles and forums, but still have no idea.
1) Stack of Avalanche bipolar transistors - rise time is good, but current 10's of amps.
2) SRD. Looks like it will work, but can not find simple schematic and what is more important SRD diode itself.
3) PCSS. Semiconductor photoconductive switch. GaAs. Not available on the market and lasts for few billion shots.
Need help.
Thank you.
