Performance of opening and closing switches for pulsed-power networks

This thesis describes a study into the performance of both opening and closing switches, as used in pulsed-power networks. It also discusses the important energy storage and compression techniques that are used in the generation of high-energy pulsed power. Various different types of switches are in...
