Abstract
- The development of pulsed power puts forward new requirements on volume and weight of generators. To develop a compact and lightweight high-voltage pulse generator, this work proposed a new modular pulse forming topology with high voltage gain and a reduced number of energy storage capacitors. The topology is realized by charging a set of capacitors cyclically step-by-step and discharging repetitively in series. A voltage gain of $2^{n-1}$ can be achieved with $2n\,+\,1$ all-solid-state switches, $n$ fast recovery diodes, and n capacitors. An experimental prototype built around five capacitors generates high-voltage pulses with adjustable voltage level, pulse frequency, and pulsewidth. Meanwhile, it is verified that the prototype has a certain capacity with a capacitive load. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
