Abstract :
In this paper, the design and optimization efforts aimed at reducing the intrinsic impedance of the Marx generator are discussed. By reducing the number of stages of the Marx´s electrical circuit from the presently configured 11-stage Marx to a 7-stage Marx the inductance can be significantly decreased. In order to provide power from the Marx generator to an X-band relativistic magnetron, a coaxial transmission line and a vacuum-insulator interface will be used and the results of the design will be discussed.
