Summary A multistage generator of high‐voltage pulses with a doubling of output voltage built according to the Marx scheme is presented. A specific feature of the generator circuit design is the substitution of charging diodes for charging resistors and connection of the supplying voltage through an inductor. Such a design makes it possible to double the amplitude of pulses across a load, which is proportional to the number of connected stages, and to minimize the power loss during the charging of storage capacitors.
