Solid State Bipolar Marx Modulators: Overvoltage Tolerance Capability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two solid-state bipolar Marx modulators are compared in terms of semiconductors overvoltage tolerance capability in abnormal operating conditions such as switching synchronization failure. Simulation results are presented for 4 stages of two Marx circuits using 500 V per stage with 1 kHz bipolar pulse repetition rate, with 5 μs pulse width and 10 μs relaxation time into resistive load.

Voltage Droop Compensation for Marx Modulators*
Marx modulators operated by solid-state switches (e.g. MOSFET, IGBT) offer an alternative to traditional high voltage (HV) modulators for rf power sources. They have the merits of compact size, high-energy efficiency, high reliability, pulse width control and cost reduction. However, Marx modulators need a complex voltage compensation circuit if they are employed in long pulse applications such...
متن کاملSolid-State Bipolar Marx Generator with Voltage Droop Compensation
This paper addresses the voltage droop compensation associated with long pulses generated by solid-stated based high-voltage Marx topologies. In particular a novel design scheme for voltage droop compensation in solid-state based bipolar Marx generators, using low-cost circuitry design and control, is described. The compensation consists of adding one auxiliary PWM stage to the existing Marx st...
متن کاملSolid-State Bipolar Marx Converter with Output Transformer and Energy Recovery
The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss a general HV topology of the solid-state Marx modulator, for unipolar or bipolar generation connected with a step-up transformer to increase the output voltage applied to a resistive load. Due to the use of an output transformer, discussion about the reset of the transformer is made to guarantee zero average voltage applied to the primary. It ...
متن کاملPortable Marx Generator for Microplasma Applications
There are many applications using pulsed power such as the triggering of high speed cameras and spectrometers, the processing or chemical analysis of minute material, and the stimulation of cells by electrical pulses. The pulse width and voltage required for each application are different in the range of ns and kV. The energy required is usually in the mJ regime. Here, a novel portable pulse po...
