Investigation of a novel solid-state dual meander pulse-forming line with 10 kV-class withstand voltage

The meander pulse-forming line (MPFL) is one kind of prospective solid-state device for compact, reliable pulsed power systems. This paper demonstrates that a dual meander pulse-forming line (DMPFL) further improves its withstand voltage upon previous MPFLs by optimizing the distribution of the frin...
