Compact Marx Generators for the Generation of High Power Microwaves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional Marx generators have been primarily reserved for energy storage and pulse-charging sources. However, recent work has demonstrated the Marx generator’s effectiveness in delivering ultra-short impulses at very intense power levels. This paper discusses two very compact Marx generators capable of delivering voltage pulses of several hundred kV, durations of several nano-seconds to 10’s of nanoseconds, and risetimes as fast as 200 ps. Performance of these generators will be discussed as well as radiation results with the generator directly driving a TEM horn antenna. Further discussion will be made toward the application of the Marx generator driving various microwave devices including the Backward Wave Oscillator.

This study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. Wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. However due to unpredictable nature...
متن کاملMarx Generator and Reflex Triode based High Power Pulsed Microwave Source
A compact repetitive Marx generator and a High Power Microwave (HPM) source based on a matched reflex triode has been developed and tested. The Marx generator rated at 1 kJ, 300 kV, 12 kA, 10 Hz, is suitable to drive the reflex triode directly. Bipolar charging of the Marx generator has been used to get lower system inductance and consequently faster output rise time with relatively low chargin...
متن کاملStatistical Characteristics of the Output Voltage in Compact Marx Generators
Compact Marx generators are widely used as portable pulse generator in different industrial applications, where high power pulses with rise times of order of some tens of nanoseconds are needed. For those applications, closing switches with very short delay and jitter times have to be used. Considering the fact that the breakdown of spark gap is a statistical process, the delay times of the clo...
