Application of a Bipolar Trriger System With Nanosecond Quasi-Rectangular Ouptut Pulse For Jitter Reduction of a 3-MV Marx Generator

In the primary drive sources of large-scale pulsed power devices, such as the Marx generators and linear transformer drivers (LTDs), the gas switch remains the predominant choice for energy conversion. The performance of trigger pulse plays a pivotal role in ensuring stable conduction of the gas switch, thereby influencing the overall operational characteristics of the pulsed power source. Generally speaking, fast rising time and high voltage amplitude are of great advantage for enhancing the trigger performance. Particularly in pulses operating in parallel synthesis mode, there is a heightened requirement for minimal delay jitter and superior repeatability within the trigger system.
