    PACKAGE CONTENT Please check the package for the following items:  NPG-20/3500 (positive polarity) or NPG-20/3500 (negative polarity) nanosecond pulse generator (hereinafter "generator")  Power supply cable  High voltage output coaxial cable  User manual Fig.1. General view of NPG-20/3500 nanosecond pulse generator.
  • Page 6: Description

    The typical output pulse waveform is shown in Fig.2. Fig.2. Typical output pulse waveform of NPG-20/3500 on matched 50 Ohm load. Amplitude knob is in max position. The generator is designed for operation with 50 Ohm impedance load only, for example properly made antenna.

  • Page 9: Putting The Generator Into Operation

    Unscrew the cable connector; there should be no ozone or burnt smell from the cable connector, even a little, or any burnt traces. Please do not connect and disconnect the high voltage connectors many times to prevent the contacts from wearing. NPG-20/3500 and NPG-20/3500N User manual...
  • Page 10 (1). After long time of operation at high output pulse amplitude and frequency please allow fans to rotate several minutes in idle mode for cooling. NPG-18/3500(N) nanosecond pulse generator user manual MEGAIMPULSE LTD.
  • Page 11: Triggering Of The Generator

    ENABLE pulse. For example, 10 ms duration external ENABLE pulse applied to BNC SYNC IN connector (6), and 1 kHz set frequency result in 10 output pulses burst. NPG-20/3500 and NPG-20/3500N User manual...
  • Page 12: Overheat Mode

    OVERHEAT MODE NPG-20/3500 (NPG-20/3500N) generator has 50 Ohm impedance coaxial output connector and 50 Ohm impedance output cable. If the generator operates on an unmatched load with an impedance not exactly equal to 50 Ohm, then part of the pulse energy inevitably reflects from the load, returns back to the generator, and dissipates in it.
