In need of ultra-high frequency partial discharge location and correction of electrical equipment, we designed a sub-nanosecond steep pulse generator, and constructed the corresponding circuit model through the circuit simulation software Pspice. The influence of the storage capacitor and the supply voltage to the pulse waveform is analyzed. When the storage capacitor is 10 pF and 20pF respectively, the output pulse waveforms have been measured in the conditions of pulse rise time being 0.68 ns and 0.90 ns, pulse width being 0.98 ns and 1.18 ns, pulse peek being 8.72 V and 12.2 V respectively, and partical discharge capacity of charge being 320 pC and 600 pC. The picked multi-pulse singnals are steady with the developped sleeve monopole antenna, the error is less than 70 ps. It can be used for the experimental study of ultra-high frequency partial discharge location and correction of electrical equipment.
