Description
Test stand complex for the testing of land and aerial based HPM sources is described. The stand utilizes low-inductance Marx generator operating in the repetitive burst regime with a rate 1-20 pulses/sec and total energy in pulse of 3kJ/pulse at 7Ohm load. Marx generator produces pulses with the risetime of 10-12 ns, output voltage and current 250-650 kV and 10-55 kA, respectively.
Marx generator utilizes low-inductance pulse capacitors, connected in pairs and installed in the common casing per pair. These capacitors are charged by two bi-polar capacitor charging supplies with 80kJ/s charging rate each. Marx generator stages are switched by low inductance high pressure spark-gaps with impulse gas purging. The spark-gaps are filled with $N_2$, $SF_6$ gases or their mix.
The stand complex is controlled by the computerized system, which includes system of acquisition, storage and preliminary processing of operational data. The system utilizes proprietary software.
