High power microwave expander for producing fast rise time pulses

TLDR
In this article, a high power microwave expander is provided which decreases the rise time of rf pulses, where internal conductors are separated and tapered to provide a high isolation characteristics at low power.
Abstract
An high power microwave expander is provided which decreases the rise time of rf pulses. The expander is a transmission line in which internal conductors are separated and tapered to provide a spark gap with high isolation characteristics at low power. The arcing threshold of the spark gap can be adjusted by varying the internal pressure of the transmission line, injecting a gas such as helium into the transmission line and by providing free electrons in close proximity to the spark gap.

High power pulse compression techniques

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for compressing high intensity current pulses and for providing an impedance transformation which increases the magnitude of the current of the pulses was proposed, where 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.
