摘要

A solid-state quasi-square pulse Marx generator has been designed, constructed, and tested in this paper. The spark gap switches of a typical Marx generator have been replaced by a fractional-turn ratio saturable pulse transformer (FRSPT), and a three-section anti-resonance network has taken the role of pulse forming module in this quasi-square Marx generator. For the switches, thyristors are used as the primary switches and the FRSPT is used as the pulse modulating switch. The experimental results show that if the charge voltage is about 1000 V, the output quasi-square pulse has an amplitude of 18.5 kV and a pulse width of 3.15 mu s, and the experimental results verify the feasibility of the concept of an all-solid-state quasi-square square pulse Marx generator based on an FRSPT and anti-resonance network.
