Stacked, Parallel-Plate Solid-Dielectric Blumlein Lines for Compact Pulsed Power

摘要: Summary form only given. The stacked Blumlein line is a concept that has been touted as highly compact pulsed power system because of its combination the functions energy storage, voltage scaling, and pulse shaping into single sub-system. In reality, reversal transients induced by operation lines switch jitter require significant derating dielectric strength. Consequently, must be operated much below intrinsic density, compromising efforts to design system. Nevertheless, composite dielectrics have renewed interest in for power. This paper discusses limitations on density well develop using ceramic loaded polymer dielectric. Experiments conducted evaluate electrically triggered spark-gap switches use testing lines. Additionally, small capacitors fabricated same used tested material thereby inform multiple-stage
