Abstract :
The pulsed power generator is an integral part of an HPM generating system. Pulsed power generators for HPM sources studied at FOI include explosive-driven flux compression generators, a pulse-forming line generator, and a repetitive Marx generator, which is used in parametric vircator studies. The work focuses on means to improve the energy efficiency of HPM generation, compactness for mobile use, repetitive operation and dynamic parameter tuning.
