Hi all,
New member, first post so here goes!
Im looking for some tips & hints to replace an old hydrogen thyratron with a solid state device using thyristors. The application is a small radar, PRF about 800Hz & pulse width 1uS. I intend to run a bank of say 4 SCRs in series to switch a 3kV charge voltage to a pulse package. 2 x 1:1:1 gate pulse transformers for the triggering.
Has anyone seen this done before?
Pitfalls? Do's & dont's?
Cheers..
