Blocking diode (IN1198) prevents reverse polarity and doubles pulse frequency

In the circuit of FIG. 2, an IN1198 diode acts as a blocking diode/electric switch allowing voltage flow in one direction only, so the capacitor is never subjected to reverse polarity; the diode also allows the inductor's collapsing magnetic field to produce a second same-polarity pulse, doubling the pulse frequency and preventing the capacitor from discharging.
