Abstract

Pulsed power generation using solid-state linear transformer driver (LTD) with inductive energy storage has been experimentally studied. This is a feasibility study in order to explore this new approach by proving its operation principle and demonstrating its typical performance. Magnetic cores in LTD modules are used as intermediate energy storage from which the electrical energy is extracted when the switches are turned off. Voltage adding has been confirmed by using a three-module stack and, with an input charging voltage 41.5 V, a peak output voltage of ~2.6 kV was obtained on a 120- $\Omega $ resistive load, with pulsed length of ~51 ns and rise time of ~24 ns.
