  • High power pulse compression techniques
    Patent number: 4003007
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing high intensity current pulses and providing an impedance transformation which increases the magnitude of the current of the pulses. A pulse is injected into a transmission line and after the pulse energy is converted to entirely electrostatic form the transmission line is discharged along the length thereof instead of out the end. The transmission line may be longitudinal, or in the shape of a torus, and the discharging may be either synchronous or asynchronous. The method and apparatus may be useful in compressing deuterium/tritium pellets to the point of nuclear burn.
