Abstract
The stacked Blumlein pulse generators developed at the University of Texas at Dallas consist of several triaxial Blumleins stacked in series at one end. The lines are charged in parallel and synchronously commuted with a single switching element at the other end. In this way, relatively low charging voltages are multiplied to give the desired discharge voltage across an arbitrary load. Described here is the progress in development and characterization of these novel pulse-power generators capable of discharging at high repetition rates. The introduction of a tapered transmission line concept to the stacked Blumlein design provided fine tuning of output waveforms.
