A Compact High-Stability Nanosecond Pulse Test System Using Corona-Stabilized Switch and Coaxial Resistance Divider

Due to the lack of a standard nanosecond high-voltage pulse generator for sensor calibration, high-stability test system was developed in terms circuit analysis, structural design, and performance test. By establishing equivalent model generator, component parameters five-stage Marx loop one-stage compression steepening unit were simulated. The influence action gap on characteristics output analyzed. established through design pulse-generating circuit, development high-performance corona-stabilized switch, measurement fast-response resistance divider made metal oxide thin-film resistors. has capability double exponential voltages amplitude range 10–60 kV with rise time 2.3 ± 0.5 ns half-peak 23 5 ns. In addition, voltage high consistency stability full range. maximum relative deviation peak value is 1.517%, uncertainty less than 5‰.
