A high voltage and high repetition rate sub-nanosecond gas switch is designed. Rise-time and fall-time of a sharpened pulse can be varied by turning two group of rotary knobs outside the cavity to adjust the peaking and chopping spaces. Results of experiments prove that the switch can work steadily at 5 Hz repetition rate and output a pulse with 278 kV peak voltage and 620 ps width, or works at 100 Hz repetition rate and output a pulse with 270 kV peak voltage and 700 ps width. The switch has been successfully used in high power pulse systems.
