A water purification by streamer discharge using a stacked Blumlein line pulsed power generator under the water containing pollutants has been investigated. The pulsed power generator consisted of six stacked Blumlein line to generate high voltage with low charging voltage. The output voltage was applied to a wire electrode to generate streamer discharge in the water. The wire electrode was set...

Aggressive reduction of timing margins, called timing speculation, is an effective way of reducing the supply voltage for a pipeline circuit and thereby its power consumption. However, probability of timing error increases with the voltage scaling and hence, the errors must be corrected with small cycle penalty. Here introduce an improved Razor approach by replacing flip flop by pulsed latch, w...

A wire-array flux-compression cartridge installed on Sandia's Saturn pulsed power generator doubled the current into a 3-nH load to 6 MA and halved its rise time to 100 ns. The current into the load, however, was unexpectedly delayed by almost 1 micros. Estimates of a plasma flow switch acting as a long-conduction-time opening switch are consistent with key features of the power compression. Th...

The Magnetron is one of the efficiency high-power microwave source, although the energy conversion efficiency decreases with pulsed-power relativistic electron beam. We study the capability to increase energy conversion efficiency of Relativistic Magnetron by using Transparent Cathode. The Transparent-Cathode consists of independent cathode strips. Each cathode strip caused azimuthal magnetic f...

This paper presents an efficient explicit pulsed static dual edge triggered flip flop with an improved performance. The proposed design overcomes the drawbacks of the dynamic logic family and uses explicit clock pulse generator approach to achieve dual edge triggering. The proposed flip-flop is compared with existing explicit pulsed dual edge triggered flip-flops. Based on the simulation result...
