Abstract:
1. A high voltage pulse generator comprising: a power supply having an ac output; an even number of capacitor charging circuits, each of the even number of capacitor charging circuits comprising an LC inversion Marx generator having two or more capacitors and a switch to control charging and discharging of the capacitors; and a plurality of cell inverter transformers, each of the plurality of cell inverter transformers comprising a primary winding and a secondary winding to supply ac power to each of the even number of capacitor charging circuits, each of the plurality of cell inverter transformers having its primary winding connected across the ac output of the power supply, each of the plurality of cell inverter transformers having its secondary winding connected exclusively to at least one of the two or more capacitors in one of the even number of capacitor charging circuits by a means for converting the ac power to dc power, each of the plurality of cell inverter transformers and associated means for converting the ac power to dc power comprising a circuit to supply the ac output of the power supply to the two or more capacitors in half of the even number of capacitor charging circuits with inverted phase from the ac output of the power supply to the two or more capacitors in the remaining half of the even number of capacitor charging circuits.
