A 100 GW, 100 ps solid-state pulsed power system based on semiconductor opening switch generator and magnetic compression lines.

Based on the SOS + MCL approach (SOS-generator with output Semiconductor Opening Switch; MCL-Magnetic Compression Line), a high-power solid-state picosecond system has been developed. The SOS generator forms an initial pulse with a power of 8.5 GW (0.
