Marx generator design and performance

This paper presents a broad overview of Marx generators, ranging from the traditional Marx generator to the wave erection generator. It is specifically written as a brief introduction to key concepts with references tied to each area. Key topics include operating techniques, triggering techniques, switches, repetition rates, jitter, and applications.
