Design and preliminary experimental results of wave erection Marx generator

A 10-stage wave erection Marx generator with coaxial structure is designed, which realizes the miniaturization of pulse power modulator with capacitance energy storage. Low-inductance capacitors of 3 nF are chosen as energy storage capacitors, and solid resistors are utilized as charging resistors. By means of rapid discharge of each short gas spark gap and ultraviolet coupling between stages, wave erection can be realized on the output load. Under the consideration of stray capacitance of electrodes to ground, equivalent eccentric transmission line effect and circuit inductance, equivalent circuit model is constructed for PSpice software to simulate the operation process. Under low charging voltage of 7 kV and 11 kV, preliminary experimental results are achieved. The output voltage wavefo
