This paper presents a new high voltage pulse shaping methodology for pulsed power applications. The aim is to generate high voltage square pulse across anode cathode gap of e-beam diodes. The non-linear time varying perveance characteristics of e-beam diodes are used for shaping of output voltage pulse across it, generated directly from Marx generator. Analytically, it has been shown in the paper that under certain conditions, if achieved, Marx generator feeding an e-beam diode can produce a square-like pulse at the output, without any extra pulse shaping arrangements. Experimental results to support the analysis are also presented in the paper.
