Optimized solid-state bipolar Marx modulador with resonant type droop compensation

In this paper a voltage droop compensation based on a resonant circuit is proposed for the optimized solid-state bipolar Marx modulator. Keeping the modularity characteristics and the circuit topology, one auxiliary resonant stage was added to the existing Marx stages. The compensation concept consists of adding the auxiliary voltage to the output positive or negative pulse for voltage droop compensation. Simulation results are presented for five stages Marx circuit, 10% voltage droop, using 800 V per stage, 100 ps pulse duration at 50Hz frequency.
