Recently, the pulsed power systems have found wide applications. For this reason, using the pulsed power generators that in addition to responding to the needs of the user, are providing the advantages of compactness, high flexibility, high repetition rate and cost efficiency is inevitable. This paper proposes a converter which is a combination of Marx topologies and solid state voltage multipliers. It is capable of producing high voltage pulses with varying amplitudes at different frequencies where is modular and flexible. The resonant circuit used in this structure can reduce the stress on switching element and increase the output voltage while providing a zero current switching for the full bridge converter. Its analytical design is described and its verification is proved by the simulation results in MATLAB\SIMULINK. As a proof of concept, the measurement results taken from the experimental prototype, are presented as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
