Abstract
- This paper puts forward a repetitive high-voltage pulse modulator, consisting of a step-up pulse transformer to decrease the number of needed semiconductor switches, and a bipolar Marx generator to reduce the turns ratio of PT, leakage inductance, and distributed capacitance, and also to improve the pulse shape. An equivalent circuit of the proposed modulator considering parasitic elements is established. Based on the equivalent circuit, circuit operation is analyzed in detail. In order to verify the theory analysis and circuit operation, simulations are conducted. In addition, a laboratory prototype is implemented. The simulations and experimental results of resistive load and dielectric-barrier discharges load turn out matched quite well with the theory analysis, demonstrating that the prototype can operate with a voltage amplitude in the range of 0–25 kV, a repetition rate of 0.1–5-kHz stably.
