Summary
Summary
Passive Pulse Generators are circuits used to generate very high power electrical pulses. Such pulses find application in a wide range of disciplines, including plasma generation, gas laser physics and radar.
* Includes two introductory chapters on techniques used to analyse passive pulse generators
* Includes worked examples
A valuable reference resource for specialist undergraduates, post graduate students and researchers active in the field og pulsed power and areas where pulsed power is applied, including physicists, engineers and those with an interest in waste and materials processing.

Choice Review
Although Smith (Pembroke College, UK) discusses a narrow, specialized subset of electrical and electronic circuit analysis, design, and application, it is an important area rarely documented in book form. The author is an expert in pulsed circuit technology with a gift for presenting the material in a coherent and easily understood manner. The first chapter presents the applicable mathematical techniques with emphasis on the Laplace transform as the most useful analysis tool; the second chapter treats transmission lines and their transient characteristics. These chapters provide much of the theory needed for the subsequent chapters focusing on pulse-forming lines, networks, transformers, and pulse generators using capacitive and inductive energy storage. A final chapter covers nonlinear-pulsed circuits. This book may be used as a text for undergraduate electrical and electronic engineering students, and as a reference for researchers and engineers who need an update on, or better understanding of, this topic. It features frequent, illustrative examples and cites many references. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. E. M. Aupperle emeritus, University of Michigan
