A multimegavolt HPD pulse generator was developed and tested for the U.S. Navy for use in HEMP testing of aircraft. The pulser produces a repeatable, fast-rising, double-exponential HEMP pulse. The pulser utilizes state-of-the-art distributed peaking capacitors and a single greater than 2 MV output switch. Detailed electrical and mechanical analysis was done to assure the integrity and reliability of the pulser. The pulser is located 30 m above the ground within an HPD antenna and therefore requires electrically isolated remote control and diagnostics for monitoring its performance. The capability to rapidly find and correct problems is critical for EMP simulator operation because of the high cost of test operations, and limited availability of test objects.
