Abstract
Nowadays, most of solid-state circuits are fabricated through the application of the 2-D electrode manufacturing technology (printed circuit). In this paper, solid-state pulse-forming modules using 2-D electrode manufacturing technology are presented to produce long pulse duration while less space volume is being occupied. First, on a glass-ceramic (dielectric constant 225) substrate with the dimension of 250 mm × 95 mm × 4 mm, as meander line is the usual delay-line circuit in printed circuit boards, the meander pulse-forming line is used to deliver a highvoltage pulse with pulse duration longer than 120 ns by simulation and test validation. Furthermore, we also discuss the double parallel meander-line and the “V” shaped meander-line in this section. Second, with the same substrate, the LC pulse-forming module is used to generate the high-power pulse with good square pulse quality. By changing the inductance L, this module can be adjusted to deliver pulses with different durations. Third, planar concentric ring PFL is proposed with simulation analysis. In simulation, the planar concentric ring PFL is designed using an attractive storage medium-Barium Titanate (BaTiO 3 ) baseceramics (dielectric constant~1000). At last, a compact PFL based on the structure of multilayer ceramic capacitor is introduced, and can generate a quasi-square pulse in simulation. These various types of solid-state pulse-forming modules may be the potential component in the compact pulsed power systems to generate high-voltage, long-duration pulses.
