Do you count those PFN's with a single L and C? :^)
I've always been tempted to hook some sort of
HV transformator up to a one of the 150kW PFN's
at SLAC (they have 243 of these PFN stations along
2mi. of linac)
They're _almost_ the perfect TC driver, with a
44kV primary drive voltage, and with pulse rates
up to 360BPS. However, PFN's typically do not
produce the oscillating output waveforms that TC's
like, but rather provide flat-top unipolar pulses
when tuned correctly. Although a TC couldn't use
this, a properly designed impulse transformer might...
