A 10-staged low impedance Marx generator is designed, the volume of the generator is about 0.5 m3 and the output power and pulse width are more than 30 GW and 200 ns. The compact pulsed power system contains 10 bipolar (50 kV) stages of capacitors and rail switches placed in a tank filled with dielectric oil. The positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor are suppressed within the switchs electrode. This system stores 5 kJ and is capable of delivering a current up to 41.6 kA at 500 kV to a 12 load. The rise time of the current is less than 100 ns. The system size is 1.2 m0.5 m0.6 m. In this paper, the experimental results with resistive load are presented as well as data obtained when the obtained Marx generator is coupled to high power microwave tubes. A microwave output power of about 400 MW is got at 1.23 GHz. The radiation mode is TM01, and pulse width is 60 ns.
