- Modeling MARX Generators for maximum pulse repetition rate estimationPublication . Rocha, Luis Lamy; Canacsinh, Hiren; Silva, J. Fernando; Redondo, Luis; Luciano, T.This paper presents a generalized n stage dynamic model for unipolar semiconductor based Marx generators. The model is tailored for the capacitors charging mode to enable the estimation of the maximum pulse repetition rate of the n stage generator. T The maximum pulse repetition rate for the n stage Marx generator can be calculated as a function of the number n of stages, and of the voltage decay allowed in each capacitor (usually less than 10%). Furthermore, given a needed pulse repetition rate the model can estimate the optimum number of stages (n) so that the working voltage of each stage can be selected. Simulation results for a ten-stage (n=10) positive output Marx generators are presented and discussed.
