Research on a modularized long pulse generator based on anti-resonance network and transmission line transformer

A modularized generator with three long pulse modules is designed and constructed in this work. The long pulse module consists of a three-section anti-resonance network and a three-stage transmission line transformer. A single module can output a pulse with an amplitude of 33 kV and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 400 ns, when the primary energy storage system provides a voltage of 24 kV. After the three modules are connected in series in experiment, the modularized long pulse generator delivers a high-voltage pulse to the matched load resistor with a maximum voltage of 96 kV and an FWHM of 400 ns. Repetitive experiments at a repetition frequency of 10 Hz are also carried out.
