Welcome to the Applied Physical Electronics, L.C. (APELC) website. Since 1998, we have focused on the research and development of compact geometry Marx generators. Our novel designs have produced output pulses with ultrafast rise times, moderate pulse widths, and amplitudes ranging from tens of kV to several MV. APELC has begun development of Marx generator-based systems to support RF test and evaluation efforts, as well as electronic defeat applications such as vehicle stoppers and the mitigation of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) controlled by portable wireless devices. These efforts include the development of high voltage antennas and other custom loads. APELC has also expanded into the power electronics arena with the design of high voltage pulse/trigger generators and solid-state Marx generators. APELC also provides design and fabrication services for custom components and/or systems. Applied Physical Electronics, L.C. (APELC) is a small business located in the Hill Country of Central Texas, 20 miles west of Austin. APELC was formed in 1998, and has since grown to a multi-million dollar R&D company, specializing in pulse power related applications, including high power RF solutions designed for defeating electronic-based systems. With 5 PhD's, 1 M.S.E.E., and 1 M.E. on the engineering team, as well as 12 highly experienced technicians and machinists, APELC brings more than 90 years of combined experience in pulse power related applications. APELC has moved into a new, wholly-owned facility, offering 7,500 sq. ft. of lab and fabrication space; equipped with a high precision CNC machine shop, and high speed measurement systems, including 6 and 8 GHz real-time oscilloscopes, a 50 GHz sampling oscilloscope (w/TDR head) and an 18 GHz Vector Network Analyzer. |
