Abstract

Summary form only given. In the report, we present the new super fast LTD prototype which delivers a 75 ns FWHM voltage pulse into a -0.5-0.6 Ohm matched load at ~20 GW power. The stage is designed without of peaking capacitors, it includes 32 GA35436 (8 nF, 100 kV) storage capacitors, 16 spark gap switches and magnetic core with reduced thickness of the tape (50 mum) to reduce the current losses. This stage prototype was specifically designed with an hemispherical vessel to operate with compressed gas (SF6, SF6/dry air mixtures, and pure dry air) up to 6 ata pressure, as well as with transformer oil. Test results of the stage prototype will be given and compared with numerical simulation.
