What circuit allows me to drive positive kV level pulses to antennas and over spark gaps to earth ground?

Ideally I would like 0-6kV pulses with adjustable frequency, but I could settle for 4kV and 40kHz. Pulses should be sharp as possible. Someone suggested a PWM module with a mosfet inside and to drive ...

When calculating the energy delivered by a pulse in an oscilloscope, what is the uncertainty in the timestep increment? [duplicate]

I am trying to calculate the energy delivered by a short electrical pulse. I am using an oscilloscope to capture the waveform and then exporting it to a CSV file. My scope took measurements at a rate ...
