Journal ArticleDOI
Performance Analysis of an All Solid-State Linear Transformer Driver
TL;DR: The overall result is a low-impedance pulse generator that rivals the performance of traditional Marx systems with the improved reliability, increased lifetime, and fast rep-rate capabilities of solid-state switches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast SiC Switching Limits for Pulsed Power Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a gate drive topology utilizes a current-carrying inductor to rapidly charge the MOSFET gate-source capacitance, and a highvoltage inductive kick generates the necessary potential to drive the inductor current into the gate through the parasitic gate impedance.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improving Fast SiC MOSFET Switching Using an Inductive Gate Drive Approach
TL;DR: In this article, an innovative gating scheme for wide bandgap semiconductor switches is investigated to fully exploit recent advances of SiC MOSFET properties in hold-off voltage and low on-state resistance (tens of mΩ).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Solid state linear transformer driver (LTD) development for HPM sources
TL;DR: In this article, a multiple-stage linear transformer driver (LTD) has been developed to achieve high voltages and currents in the Marx generator topology, where each stage has multiple bricks, all of which are ground referenced and allow current to be distributed amongst an arbitrary number of switches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Field Diffusion in Medium-Walled Conductors
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of material conductivity, wall thickness, and conductor geometry on the diffusion process of transient magnetic fields through the walls of a hollow conductive shell is examined.
