  • High-efficiency method and pulse generator for generating short voltage pulses
    Patent number: 6680603
    Abstract: In a high-efficiency method and pulse generator for generating short voltage pulses by means of a voltage booster having a first switch, an inductor and a storage capacitor, the first switch generates in the inductor current pulses which are fed to the storage capacitor when the output voltage falls below a predetermined limit value. The pulse generator thus generates a pulse output voltage which is greater than a fed input voltage and is in any desired relationship therewith. The pulse output voltage is fed to a load element by an output switch. The power losses remain low due to pulse-wise charging of a storage capacitor with current pulses.
