Marx Generator
MG10-1C-2700PF
Part Number: MG10-1C-2700PF
Designed primarily as a high-voltage trigger unit, the APELC MG10-1C-2700PF is an ultra-compact 10-stage generator that has been demonstrated for high-power RF and ultra-wide band radiation. This generator is characterized by a few-ns rise-time and GW peak power levels due to its low inductance design. The MG10-1C-2700PF is capable of delivering 150 kV into a matched load, or as much as 300 kV into an open circuit.
CHARACTERISTICS
The MG10-1C-2700PF is designed to deliver 12 J per pulse and has an impedance of approximately 15 Ohm, giving a maximum peak power of approximately 1.5 GW.
- 300 kV open-circuit output voltage
- 3 – 4 ns rise time
- Requires only pressurized air, a high-voltage power supply, and a suitable trigger source
- 1.5 GW peak power to matched load
