Shaping of a current pulse in a plasma injector
Abstract
Experimental results are reported on the joint operation of a cascade-type capacitance energy storage device and an erosion-type pulsed plasma injector. The effect of the distribution of the elements in the storage device on the shape of the discharge current was studied. The best distribution of capacitance parameters yielding the pulse shape that was closest to rectangular was determined.
