An electronic circuit for producing high-voltage short-duration pulses including means for superimposing an input pulse on the voltage level of a first power supply and switching means for alternately placing on an output line the voltage of a second power supply and the output of the voltage superimposing means so that the total voltage rise of the output pulse is equal to the sum of the voltage of the input pulse and the total voltage differential between the first power supply and the second power supply. This circuit lends itself to cascading such that each additional stage will add to the output of the previous stage a voltage equal to the voltage differential between the first and second power supply, thus allowing the production of a high-voltage short-duration pulse without the necessity of high-voltage switching components or high-voltage power supplies.
