Abstract
Though existent a transcranial magnetic stimulation makes various treatment and diagnostic sine waveform of fixed stimulation pulse, there is limitation. In this research, because strength, pulse width, pulse pattern required in treatment and diagnostic introduce other Cockroft-Walton circuit and half bridge inverter frequency and voltage variable become new device propose wish to. Have more advantages than existing device. First, do not have high voltage transformer. Second, switching loss can be less, and control output energy precisely. Three, stimulation strengths, pulse width, pulse pattern are various. As a result, sought special quality and an experiment that is improved applying inverter and cockroft - Walton circuit is half bridge inverter that do not use transformer.
