Solid-State Modulators For The International Lnear Collider

This paper describes DTI´s ongoing development of solid-state, transformerless modulators for the International Linear Collider (ILC), including Marx Bank (Figure 1), and hard switch (Figure 7), modulator configurations. As these designs are built and tested, the overall ILC program will be in an excellent position to select a design for construction to minimize the overall ILC life cycle cost.
