  • Abstract
    It is shown that a flat-top, constant-power, long-output pulse can be obtained from a droop-compensated OFN (pulse forming network)-driven pulsed transformer. It is shown that such transformers are highly efficient, and seem particularly feasible for high-voltage, long-pulse applications. Examples are given for generating 100 GW, high-energy pulses (250-1000 kJ) into variable resistive loads from a 20 kV PFN
