Abstract
- The high power pulse generators have been widely used in high power microwave generation and plasma physics research. In this paper, a novel compact solid-state high power pulse generator is studied, numerically and experimentally. The generator is mainly composed of the primary energy supply, the magnetic pulse compressor, the Blumlein type low-impedance pulse forming network, and the square waveform pulse transformer. Especially, design considerations for a solid-state high power pulse generator are proposed. Experimental results show that pulses with a peak power of 2 GW, a duration of 150 ns, and a repetitive rate of 10 Hz are continuously achieved on a dummy load. The dimension is Φ60 × 210 cm<superscript>2</superscript>, and the average power density reaches ∼5 W/L. Experimental results show reasonable agreement with numerical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
