| Summary: | The results of the development of a high-voltage semiconductor voltage generator (based on IGBT transistors) with a pulse transformer and the results of experiments on generating a capillary discharge using it on a compact gas-discharge source capable of generating pulses of soft X-ray radiation (SXR) in the area of the socalled «water window» - with wavelength in the range of 2.4...4.4 nm. Methods for designing a high-voltage pulse voltage pulse generator are described: theoretical calculations and results of modeling the electrical circuit diagram in the LTSpice software package, the developed design of a pulse transformer based on N87 ring ferrites and the generator itself is described, the results of its operation as part of a compact gas-discharge radiation source are presented and analyzed. The prospects of using such a high-voltage generator (with semiconductor transistor switches) with a pulse transformer as part of a soft X-ray radiation source are shown due to its technical and operational features: the developed generator is capable of operating from an alternating current network of 380 V/50 Hz in a frequency-burst mode (with a repetition rate of the generated voltage pulses up to 600 Hz) and charges the capillary capacitance of the SXR source to a voltage of more than 20 kV in a time of about 4 μs, has small dimensions, does not create pulsed high-frequency interference and false alarms, and also has stable output (amplitude-temporary) parameters. |
