Simulations of a Magnetic Pulse Compressor

Abstract

The 3-stage magnetic pulse compressor MAG 1-D has been modeled with a code which calculates the hysteresis behavior of magnetic cores placed within a circuit. The voltage waveforms are shown to compare favorably with data taken by Barrett. A speculative modification to MAG 1-D, suggested by the reset behavior of the model, is discussed.
