Jord Radar modulator is a Marx-generator where the pulse is not coupled through a pulse transformer. The 30-stage Marx charges up to 3 KV per stage allowing variable pulse width shot-to-shot. This turn-key system is radar qualified in NATO RSRP systems. System has built in redundancy in both power supplies and modulator, so failures can be tolerated.
