A generator of high-power nanosecond pulses based on a modular two-level summator

Abstract

A modular approach to designing generators of high-power high-voltage nanosecond pulses on the basis of a two-level wave summator and transistor formers of partial pulses is considered. The design and parameters of the modules that are oriented at the development of generators of voltage pulses of up to 300 kV at a current of up to 4 kA are described. The capabilities of these modules are demonstrated based on the example of a pulse generator with a power of 10 MW, a varied pulse duration of 50–150 ns, and a pulse repetition rate of up to 2 kHz.
