Development of a 500-kV All Solid-State Linear Transformer Driver

A solid-state repetition linear transformer driver (LTD) for a high-power microwave (HPM) driver is constructed, comprising a total of 50 stage-series structures, with each stage possessing eight parallel bricks. This article describes the primary and secondary circuit differences between a driving source and a modern LTD, as well as analyzing the influence of load impedance on system efficiency i...
