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.engMarx generatorPulseRatePulsoTaxaconference object10.1109/PPC.2017.8291179
