Portable Universal Pulser (PUP) operating manual

This report represents the results of the complete development of a portable direct drive pulser system. Though fabricated for a specific application (EMP Direct Drive Test of the 1200 kVA Power System for the E-4), the pulser system in a modular configuration allows great flexibility through simple hardware changes. Presently configured for 12 Damped Sine Wave frequencies at a fixed Q of 24, the two output amplifiers can be driven series push-pull for high voltage (=1500 volts) or in parallel for high current (=20 amperes) output. Burst CW and CW at the 12 preselected frequencies are available without additional modification. Presently available are 10 kHz, 20 kHz, 50 kHz, 100 kHz, 800 kHz, 1 MHz, 2 MHz, 4 MHz, 10 MHz, 30 MHz 50 MHz, and 100 MHz. Other waveforms can be amplified for direct drive given an external low level source.
