This paper presents generalized dynamic models for Marx derived multilevel half-bridge bipolar modulators. This high-voltage topology uses modular Marx multilevel converter diode (M3CD) cells to generate positive and negative (bipolar) pulses or unipolar (positive or negative voltage pulses). The developed models are tested in transient studies of pulse voltages and currents in the load. Simulation and experimental results are presented and compared.
