This paper briefly reviews the design of a prolate-spheroidal impulse-radiating hyperband antenna system to launch and focus fast (100 ps) high-voltage (> 100 kV) pulses onto biological targets. Design and experiments on a graded five-layer dielectric lens, designed to match the pulses into the target medium, are outlined. The design and numerical simulations of a switch system to launch high-voltage spherical TEM pulses are also presented.
