Abstract
The experimental and computer modelling of the performance of a 24-stage coaxial line Marx generator are presented. Internal inductance, stray capacitance, coupling capacitance between the stages and switch characteristic are considered. The detailed geometry of each stage and of the total system is included in the computer simulation. The UV pre-ionized spark gaps forming the switches in the system are characterized by the spark overvoltage. The transmission line effects are also observed. The output characteristics are given at different overvoltages.
