Abstract
Compact high-voltage generators with a pulse power of 100–500 MW, an output voltage of 150–400 kV, a pulse duration of 3–6 ns, and pulse repetition rates of 300–400 Hz and up to 5 kHz in a steady-state and a 30-s-long burst mode, respectively, are described. The output power-amplification unit is based on an inductive storage and SOS diodes with subnanosecond current cutoff time. Physical processes in the semiconductor structure of a SOS diode operating in the subnanosecond current cutoff mode are considered. The generator circuit designs and their test results are presented.
