Pulse shaping network esp. for rail accelerators for launching shells

摘要

The network has a resonant circuit with capacitors and coils in series and a four diode rectifier. The inductance (L) of the resonant circuit is connected to one point (1) of the rectifier and the capacitance (C) to another point (3) of the rectifier. The rail accelerator is connected to two further points (2,4) of the rectifier.A diode between two of the points (1,2) of the rectifier is replaced by an asymmetrical high power thyristor
