A conducting foil strip sandwiched between a mylar sheet and a mylar tape forms a conductor-insulator strip. An inner and an outer conductor-insulator strip are spirally wound about a tube forming an active and passive stripline pair. The inner end of a inner conductor-insulator strip is terminated by a spherical output terminal. The outer ends of the conductor-insulator strips are in electrical communication with a edge-triggered spark gap switch. The windings are encapsulated by high density urethane epoxy. The spark gap switch has a mid-plane electrode shaped like double concave cone and a pair of domed point electrodes. The margin of the conducting foil is electrically graded by staggering both the ends and the edges of the dielectrics between which the foil is sandwiched. The inner conductor-insulator strip makes one (1) complete turn around the tube before the outer conductor-insulator strip starts.
