-==Introduction==
-*N.Ratakhin et al. "Compact pulse power generator for X-pinch researches" 28th ICPIG, July 15-20, 2007, Prague, Czech Republi [http://icpig2007.ipp.cas.cz/files/download/cd-cko/ICPIG2007/pdf/3P15-14.pdf]
-"The main requirements imposed on the generator are '''the current amplitude 150-300 kA and the rate of the current rise 1-2 kA/ns.''' At the moment, these parameters of the current pulse can be provided only by enough large fixed-site generators weighing from 300 kg to several tons. These shortcomings limit to a great extent the feasibility of this diagnostic technique in studies of extreme states. Therefore, the design of a portable pulse generator which provides the required parameters makes it possible to proceed to a new level of diagnostics of fast processes."
-X-Pinch :
-*few micron source size -> study small-scale objects
-*0.1 - 10 ns Pulse Width -> study short living objects
-*X-Pinch Facilities used Pulsed Power and could be made small and compact
-Synchrotron Radiation:
-Laser Compton Scattering:

-For radiographic application we need the pulser with 150-300 kA current and 1-2 kA/ns rise time. Because of that, one LTD stage is enough to build the entirely facility. Because we do not need inductively stuck many stages together the necessity of massive ferromagnetic core is relaxed.
-The whole stage can be easily analysed as LRC circuit with LTspice code. The precise design of cavity and transmission line should be done with 3D time domain EM code  XFtdt.
-==PRS based on Linear Transformer Driver (LTD) technologies==
-"The LTD driver is an induction generator similar to the induction accelerator (LIA) [1,2], the inductive voltage adder (IVA) [3–6], and the linear pulsed transformer (LPT)" [http://prst-ab.aps.org/abstract/PRSTAB/v12/i5/e050402]
-Each LTD stage (or sometimes called LTD cavities) consists of three different elements: a capacitor, a gas spark switch and a ferromagnetic core. The necessity of ferromagnetic core is to inductively connect stage to TL. So the one stage can be used as building block to design the bigger facilities. Buy designing the different stages and connecting them in different way a great variety id devices can be constructed. [http://prst-ab.aps.org/abstract/PRSTAB/v12/i5/e050402]
-What was done with LTD:
-*A compact, high-voltage e-beam pulser: 3 MV, 100 kA
-*A compact, high-voltage e-beam pulser: 10 MV, 100 kA
-*1 MV ultra-fast LTD generator: 1 MV, 125 kA
-*High Current Fast 100-NS cavity: 100 kV, 1 MA
-*LTD-II: 100 kV, 490 kA
-*LTD-III: 92 kV, 810 kA
-*etc...
