Diode acts as blocking switch preventing reverse polarity and doubling pulse frequency
A 1N1198 diode in the circuit acts as a blocking diode/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 capacitor discharge.
