This report includes a project in which a circuit board has been designed to be used as an dummy load for pulse generators. The aim of the circuit board is to replace a resistive fabric woven from kanthal wire that ScandiNova uses as a load element at present. The circuit boards have been designed so that a large number of circuit boards can be combined with serial and parallel connection in a modular frame so it can be adapted to all different types of pulse modulators that ScandiNova manufactures. The circuit boards have been designed so that the circuit board can handle an average power of one kilowatt, the inductance has been reduced in comparison with the current resistive fabric and the circuit boards can easily be connected with other circuit boards. To achieve these goals, simulations and calculations have been performed in Matlab and LTspice to investigate whether the components on the circuit board can meet the requirements of the pulse generators. In addition, physical tests have been performed to ensure that these simulations and calculations are correct.
