Abstract
A pair of electrodes for producing a very uniform electric field within a predetermined region. The electrodes have a special theoretically-derived shape which inherently terminates the electrodes just outside the predetermined region, thereby overcoming any need to empirically truncate the design to achieve compactness and low inductance. In contrast to conventional truncated designs, the performance of electrodes shaped according to the present invention is analytically predictable, thereby minimizing the need for time-consuming experimentation.
