A Compact High Speed Low Impedance Blumlein Line for High Voltage Pulse Shaping

Abstract

Design, construction, and operation of a low impedance Blumlein line are presented. Glycerol was used as a dielectric to obtain a 14.5 Ω line which in conjunction with a Marx generator driver could produce 5 nsec long 240kV pulses. The line, which is small enough to be housed in a Lucite box 30 cm wide×30 cm long×13 cm thick, was used to drive a bank of four 2.2 m long×30 cm wide×7.62 cm gap streamer chambers. Properties of the Blumlein line with water as the dielectric are also given and limitations on further shortening of the pulse are discussed.

Development of a single switch cell for modular nanosecond pulse generation systems

“…There are several popular schemes employed in pulsed power systems to develop high-voltage pulses, such as the inductive voltage adder [1][2][3][4][5], the magnetic pulse compressor [6][7][8] and the Blumlein line pulse forming network [9][10][11][12]. The generated pulse can differ widely in peak power and average power; currently the highest energy achieved is around 100 MJ delivered in a pulse of 5 ms duration [13].…”
