With the advancement of technology, low-temperature plasma has become increasingly important in industrial applications. The industrial application of low-temperature plasma requires high electron energy, low macroscopic temperature, and uniformity. Compared to direct current plasma and alternating current plasma, low-temperature plasma driven by nanosecond pulses has significant advantages in these aspects. This paper proposes a simple topology based on the pseudospark switch and the diode opening switch. A pulse generator is developed, which can output pulses with an amplitude of 106 kV, a rise time of 15.5 ns, a pulse width of 46 ns, and a maximum repetition rate of 1 kHz on a 260 omega resistive load. The proposed topology and pulse generator have potential applications in various industries.
With the development of technology, low-temperature plasma plays an increasingly important role in industrial applications. The industrial application of low-temperature plasma has the following requirements for plasma, high electron energy, low macroscopic temperature, and uniformity. Low-temperature plasma driven by nanosecond pulses reflects more significant advantages in these aspects compared to direct current plasma and alternating current plasma. In this paper, a simple topology is proposed, which is based on the pseudospark switch and the diode opening switch. A pulse generator is developed, which can eventually output pulses with an amplitude of 106 kV, a rise time of 15.5 ns, a pulse width of 46 ns, and a maximum repetition rate of 1 kHz on a 260 omega resistive load. The pulse generator can successfully drive needle-plate discharge plasma in ambient air. It has excellent parameters, stability, compactness, and a long lifetime. The proposed topology may be helpful for nanosecond pulse generators with amplitude ranging from tens to hundreds of kilovolts, which could be widely used in industry.
