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 in a simplified circuit of the LTD using a Laplace transform. This article also examines the optimum load impedance for a given magnetic core and primary circuit. The current load impedance of one stage is $2~\Omega $ , and the corresponding system efficiency is 95%. A real-time control and triggering system are developed. A trigger transformer with a 100-channel pulse output is designed. The output voltage of the constructed driving source is about 500 kV, the current is 5 kA, the pulsewidth is about 125 ns, and the output power is 2.5 GW. The driving source can work at a repetition rate of 50 Hz. The driving source will drive a low magnetic field relativistic backward-wave oscillator to generate HPMs.

500 kV 全固态线性变压器驱动器的开发

构建了用于高功率微波 (HPM) 驱动器的固态重复线性变压器驱动器 (LTD)，包括总共 50 个级串联结构，每个级具有八个并联砖。本文描述了驱动源与现代 LTD 之间的初级和次级电路差异，并在使用拉普拉斯变换的 LTD 简化电路中分析了负载阻抗对系统效率的影响。本文还研究了给定磁芯和初级电路的最佳负载阻抗。一级电流负载阻抗为 $2~\Omega $ ，对应的系统效率为95%。开发了实时控制和触发系统。设计了一个100路脉冲输出的触发变压器。构建的驱动源输出电压约为500 kV，电流为5 kA，脉宽约为125 ns，输出功率为2.5 GW。驱动源可以以50Hz的重复频率工作。驱动源将驱动低磁场相对论后向波振荡器产生 HPM。
