Research abstract

To address the Air Force need for a compact, reliable, high-voltage Marx generator with high pulse repetition rate and low jitter, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Solid-State Mini-Marx (SSMM) generator based on recently matured high-power insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) as switching elements. The fully developed SSMM will produce 250 kV, 2.5 kA fast (to approximately 10 ns) pulses to a 100 Ohm load at a pulse repetition rate up to 2 kHz in a volume approximately 0.1 cubic m with a conventional low-voltage prime power supply (battery). In Phase I POC will demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed SSMM by designing, fabricating, and testing a scaled down SSMM prototype (100 kV, 1kA). In Phase II POC plans to fabricate and test a full-scale SSMM engineering prototype with performance parameters tailored to the Air Force specification.
