Fig 2 — A: Pulse generation with a transmission line generator. R_charge is the charging resistor, Z_tl is the impedance of the transmission line, Z_tissue is the impedance of the tissue, and Z_m is the additional impedance added in parallel to the tissue in order to match the impedance of the load to that of the transmission line. V_BD is the breakdown voltage of the spark gap, adjustable by changing its width and L is the length of the transmission line. B: Theoretical pulse shape, for the diagram in Panel A, where v is the speed of light in the transmission line. Pulse duration is proportional to the length of the transmission line in Panel A. C: Experimentally measured pulse shape.
