Blumlein's Configuration
Blumlein's configuration

Blumlein produced a transmission line configuration that delivers the charge voltage into a matched load. The cost of this is that the there are two lines and the load impedance has to equal twice the impedance of each. An explanation of these results is available, click here for a pdf version.
