    Abstract:

    A novel power conditioning circuit for flux compression generators (FCG) to drive high impedance loads is presented. FCG usually has very low impedance, and power conditioning is necessary with high impedance loads. The traditional power conditioning scheme uses a pulse transformer and sometimes an additional capacitive pulse forming line (PFL) to improve the output waveform, making the system bulky. The paper introduces a circuit without transformers, using PFL as an inductive energy storage unit. This scheme has the advantages of simplicity, compactness, and easy insulation. Numerical simulation is shown to prove the concept. By using this circuit FCG will have wider applications.
