A process for manufacturing a cylindrical body and a device for carrying out the process. With this process, in particular sample bodies of absorbents are obtained. The intention with this process is that the nature of the bodies taken is not falsified. A device, which allows this process to be carried out rationally, is to be specified. This is achieved by the fact that firstly a plane-parallel board (1) is cut out of the material, which board (1) is provided with a guide opening (4a). Inserted into the guide opening (4a) is a guide part (5) which guides a cutting element (9) concentrically to the said guide opening (4a), which cutting element (9) separates a sleeve-shaped body (13). This body (13) is then introduced into a measurement device.

In an arrangement for measuring transfer impedances of coaxial systems (3), a generator (1) is connected via a coaxial, supplying system (2) to a conductor shield (6) of the coaxial system (3) at a first end of the coaxial system (3). A voltage measuring instrument is connected to the first end between the conductor shield (6) and the inner conductor (5) of the coaxial system (3). The electrical contact between the supplying system (2) and the conductor shield (6) is created by a gripping collet (12). The conductor shield (6) and the inner conductor (5) are short-circuited at a second end of the coaxial system (3).

In a method for measuring a characteristic impedance and a propagation constant of a two-port network (2), an output port (5) of the two-port network (2) is successively terminated with at least two different finite known impedances (3a, 3b) which are independent of the two-port network (2). An input impedance (ZE1, ZE2) is measured for each residual impedance. From the termination impedances (ZA1, ZA2) of the impedances (3a, 3b) and the corresponding input impedances (ZE1, ZE2), the propagation constant and the characteristic impedance are determined.

The present invention relates to a generator concept by means of which, in particular, the effects of so-called nuclear electromagnetic pulses on electrical or electronic devices can be simulated by applying the so-called current injection technique. In the context of the generator concept according to the invention, in particular, a pneumatically controllable very fast spark gap is disclosed. Furthermore, a generator circuit having two spark gaps (40, 41) is disclosed which is capable of generating a voltage pulse having an amplitude which is four times as large as the voltage of its voltage supply. With the exception of the spark gaps, the components 42-49) of the generator circuit only need to be designed for the above voltage of the voltage supply with respect to their continuous loading. The generator circuit according to the invention, in particular in conjunction with the spark gap according to the invention, allows a very fast efficient pulse generator to be constructed.
