Key technology of a solid state high power long pulse generator

A solid state high power long pulse generator was designed based on the technology of the magnetic switch, low impedance pulse forming line, and inductive voltage adder, which fully profited from the insulation rules, implemented modularization, and could improve the average power, stability, credibility and life of the whole system potentially. The circuit model and the key sub-systems were developed to examine the whole system. Experimental researches were carried out on the whole system. The preliminary results achieved on a dummy load show that the output pulsed power is about 2.1 GW and the pulse width about 170 ns, which verifies the design concept.
