Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent parts which comprises a modulator from being destroyed by an output current from a high voltage power supply, etc., when no bias potential is applied to a switching element by providing a power supply which applies potential between one side of the switching element and the ground. CONSTITUTION:A voltage charged in a pulse molding circuit 4 is discharged by turning on the switching element 7, and a modulated pulse is supplied to the load 5 of a transmission tube, etc. In such a case, one side of the switching element 7 is grounded via a return system bias power supply 6 which outputs the same voltage as bias potential. Therefore, since the bias potential is applied from the return system bias power supply 6 to one side of the switching element 7 even when no bias potential is applied due to the fault of a driver 9, etc., the bias potential is applied between one side of the switching element 7 and a gate from the power supply 6, which sets an energizing state. In this way, the switching element 7 is de-energized, and an uncontrollable state can be evaded, which prevents the parts from being destroyed.

The operation of this modulated pulse is controlled by the switching element 7. That is, when the switching element 7 is off, the voltage charged in the pulse shaping circuit 4 is discharged by turning on this element, and a load modulation pulse is generated.
The switching element 7 has recently been applied with a bias potential to stop its operation, and when it is desired to generate a modulation pulse, the supply of the bias potential is stopped so that the switching element becomes conductive and discharge energy is supplied from the pulse shaping circuit to perform modulation. The element that can freely generate pulses is becoming mainstream.

Only N control was possible, and only the waveform formed by the pulse shaping circuit 4 could be used as the modulation pulse. After that, a switching element capable of ON-OFF control was devised so that the pulse width of the modulation pulse could be freely selected. However, in order to use it for a pulse modulator, the OFF control is heavy because it corresponds to a large current.
