Output of triple-pulse megahertz burst rate high-voltage induction device

Proof-of-principle experiments on the megahertz burst rate high-voltage triple-pulse induction acceleration concept are described and the experimental results are presented. High-voltage triple pulser supplies a triple-pulse burst at pulse rate of 1.25 MHz to the acceleration gap of a ferrite induction device after the ferrite cores reset; a train of three 180 kV pulses separated by 800 ns was obtained in the accelerating gap. Each pulse has a full width at half maximum of 120 ns and ± 1 % flattop of 50 ns , with rise time of 40 ns , respectively.
