Design and evaluation of water Blumlein pulse generator

We designed and tested a water filled Blumlein pulse generator. For the purpose of repetitive operation, we used a gas spark switch and high voltage transformer. The pulse generator was tested an aqueous resistor dummy load. When the load resistance was matched with the pulse generator's impedance, we obtain about up to 200 kV voltage pulse.
