Abstract
A high-voltage generator provides a high-voltage pulse including a plurality of energy storage cells, each including two input and two output terminals and a capacitor. A controllable switching element is connected to the input terminals and plus terminals and minus terminals are electrically connected to one another via a respective diode. The high-voltage generator further includes a series connection comprising the energy storage cells, a pulse transformer, and a charging terminal for charging the capacitors. In an embodiment, the high-voltage generator is developed so that a greater pulse rate can be achieved. In an embodiment, at least a respective one of the energy storage cells includes an electrical resistance, connected in series with the diode connecting the plus terminals of the respective energy storage cell.
