Pulse forming network for railgun launcher

The pulse forming network program complex for parameter calculation of capacitive energy store is developed for obtaining a preset shape current in a railgun launcher. A different scheme analysis of capacitive pulse forming networks is given for obtaining current pulses with a flat peak in the railgun launcher. It is shown that a scheme of a pulse forming network where the start switches are all triggered together is the most simple scheme for the formation of quasi-rectangular current pulses.>
