Research of high voltage RSDS triggering circuit in multi-modules capacitor discharge PFN for EML
In this paper, a compact pulsed power capacitor discharge module is considered to realize large current output for electromagnetic launching. A novel triggering circuit is proposed based on inductive adder circuit topology to provide optimal reverse current for controlling the high voltage RSDs assembly switching properly. Experimental results verified the IAT triggering circuit electrical and magnetic design.
Solid-State Modulators for RF and Fast Kickers
As the switching capabilities of solid-state devices increase, these devices are being incorporated into modulator designs for high voltage accelerator applications. Solid-state modulators based on inductive adder circuit topology have demonstrated great versatility with regard to pulse width and pulse repetition rate while maintaining fast pulse rise and fall times. Additionally, these modulators are capable of being scaled to higher output voltage and power levels. An explanation of the basic circuit operation will be presented as well as test data of several different hardware systems.
Investigations of dielectric gratings using electrodynamic models based on volume integral equations
