"CST simulations of speed limitations of inductive adder topology"
C.Gough, S.Dordevic

Using time domain simulations, the progression of E and H fields inside an IVA (Inductive Voltage Adder) can
be visualised in 3D. The pulse generator sources are idealised voltage sources with minimum series impedance.
A rise time of 4ns is typically used. Faster rise times lead to multiple resonant...

This presentation briefly reviews using PSpice and Opera-2d for modelling frequency dependent resistance and inductance, such as skin effect and proximity effect: the PSpice equivalent circuit can be used in both frequency- and time-domain PSpice simulations. In addition the presentation briefly reviews modelling of a multi-gap thyratron for time-domain simulation of turn-on: this allows the...
