In recent years, nanosecond pulse power techniques used in the millimeter-wave solid-state pulse power amplifiers attracted much attention. The rise- and fall-time of the pulse, the flatness of pulse-top and the stability of pulse-to-pulse, which have play important roles in a nanosecond pulse power generator techniques, and directly determine the system performance. In this paper, a method using the outbreak current with low-voltage to drive MOS-FETs is proposed. The measured results show that the rise- and fall-time of the output pulse is less than 1.5 ns with a pure resistance 0.5Ω, and it only needs two 12V power supply to give a output current of 20A with a pulse width of 160 ns at a repetition rate of 540 kHz in continuous mode. A flatness of 3% for the output voltage was obtained,which meet the requirements of ka-band solid-state millimeter-wave pulse power amplifier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
