connections for avalanche transistor pulsers for higher current and voltage. On Mon, 19 Mar 2018 04:11:38 -0700, you wrote:
Back in the mid-80s I had some friends at Imperial College in the UK who started a company called Kentech. Their speciality was fast pulse generators that could switch around 2kV with a pulse duration of about 5nsec or less, they sold mainly into the weapons labs in the US and UK for gating X-ray image intensifiers. After a few years they were willing to say something about the technology and admiited it was a stack of avalanche transistors and the secret was the device selection and the propagation of the trigger pulse. This looks very similar with the companies intellectual property protected by the potting. |
