20140265939 | Dual Polarity Transmission Line - A dual polarity transmission line structure that can provide high-voltage pulses of very short duration, such as can be incorporated in a compact accelerator of charged particles as well as other applications, is presented. The exemplary structure has a transmission line, formed a pair of conducting strip with dielectric between them, and a pair of switches. Each of the switches is connected between one of the conducting strips and a charging section, so that when the switches are off, the capacitor plates that are respectively connected to a first and a second of the switches are charged to voltage levels above and below the level at which the first and second conductive strips are set. A pulse is then generated by turning on the switches. Multiple such structures can be stacked to provide a pulse generating system. | 09-18-2014 |
20140265625 | Loaded Blumleins - A loaded blumlein structure is described. At one end, the blumlein can be used to generate an electromagnetic pulse. At the other end, the top and bottom conductive connected by a resistive (or more generally a lossy) connection. This allows for subsequent pulses after the initial pulse to be dampened, maintaining the amplitude of the primary pulse, while reducing the stress on the system from the later ringing of the pulse. A number of geometries are described. In other examples, a pulse dampening section connected between the top and bottom conductive strips to provide the dampening effect. | 09-18-2014 |
20140084815 | Layered Cluster High Voltage RF Opto-Electric Multiplier for Charged Particle Accelerators - Circuitry is presented that can provide high-voltage radio-frequency pulses in the range of from a few volts to megavolts for charged particle accelerators. Individual pulse forming sections, such as transmission line transformers (TLTs) or blumleins, are formed in clusters. The pulse forming sections of each cluster are connected in series and have transmission lines ending in a ring structure. Multiple clusters can then be arranged with their rings aligned along the axis of the accelerator. | 03-27-2014 |
