Background The rapid development of high-power microwave application technology presents significant challenges for the reliability and installability of pulsed power drivers.Purpose The design methodology of a compact, lightweight Tesla-type pulsed power driver based on high-energy-density liquid dielectric Midel7131 and a dual-width pulse-forming line (PFL) is introduced.Methods There was a key breakthrough in the miniaturization of the integrated Tesla transformer and PFL assembly. Through optimization of the electrical length of the short pulse transmission line and its impedance matching characteristics, longstanding challenges associated with conventional single-cylinder PFLs and extended transmission lines using transformer oil dielectrics have been effectively resolved. A high-elevation, high-vacuum oil impregnation technique was developed for the Tesla transformer, successfully mitigating partial discharge in oil-paper insulation systems and thereby enhancing the power rating and operational reliability of the PFL.Results The developed pulsed power driver delivers a peak output power of 20 GW, a pulse duration of 50 ns, a pulse flat-top fluctuation of less than 2%, and a maximum repetition rate of 50 Hz. The system has demonstrated stable operation over continuous one-minute durations, accumulating approximately 200 000 pulses with consistent performance. The driver’s overall dimensions are 4.0 m(L)×1.5 m (W)×1.5 m (H), with a total mass of approximately 5 metric tons.Conclusions Compared to the conventional 20 GW Tesla-type pulsed power generator, this driver has achieved significant improvements in power density and miniaturization. -
