Solution Overview

Problem

Existing designs for generating high pulse voltage fail to minimize short-term pulse electromagnetic noise radiation due to the inertia of non-linear elements, particularly diodes, which leads to increased electromagnetic interference.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a second controlled switch and a square pulse duration converter to manage the switching time of the diode, ensuring the diode is off before the high potential is applied, thus preventing pulse current surges and noise generation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by提前 turning off the diode before the high voltage pulse is applied to it. The control circuit is designed to close the circuit containing the diode and capacitor in advance, allowing the diode to be turned off before the high potential is applied during the pulse generation phase. This prevents the diode's switching inertia from generating electromagnetic noise while maintaining the voltage multiplication function.
