The use of voltage multiplication techniques for generating HV repetitive pulses is not limited to the use of transformers. More complex methods can be used without the limitation of transformers. The most common is the Marx generator concept [55].
The Marx generator concept is presented in the circuit of Fig. 18.44, which comprises a number of modular stages constituted by an energy storage capacitor Ci, two impedances Zi (resistive and/or inductive) for charging and limiting the self-short-circuit capacitor paths and a switch Si, for i∈{1, 2, …,n}. During the charging period, a relatively low-voltage dc power supply Vdc charges the Ci capacitors in parallel through impedances Zi.
