Subject: Tweaking a transient Generator
Good day all,
I've been developing a damped sine generator to perform the DO-160 lightning
test, and have had some reasonable success. However ( there is always a
gotcha ), the leading edge of the 1 MHz ring wave has a very short ( around
10 nS ) spike on it. I have tried a number of things to kill the spike, but
to no avail. Does anyone have suggestions on what causes this, and ways to
eliminate it?
I have strived to keep stray inductance small, very small, maybe too
small.....
The switch is a high voltage vacuum relay.

Why not put up a schematic, plus a couple of multiple-angle photos, and give
us a link so we can see what you are doing?
