In order to study the effects and mechanisms of tumor treatment using pulsed magnetic field (PMF), this paper develops a PMF generator with a set of outputs of double exponential damped pulsed waveforms through combining pulsed power technology and modern power electronic technology. Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are connected in parallel to act as the discharge switch carrying large impulse current. A focusing coil array is adopted to achieve the spatial focusing of the PMF. Firstly, a geometric model of the spherical magnetic field focusing coil array is established. An optimized set of current amplitude values are achieved by simulation using the finite element simulation software COMSOL Muhiphysics, and genetic algorithm are adopted to optimize the magnetic focusing performance of the coil array. The combination of the coil and current with optimal focusing effect was obtained, and a prototype of the focusing coil array was developed. After that, the circuit structure of the PMF generator was designed through electric circuit analysis using PSpice simulation; the IGBT trigger control circuit, the driving circuit and the IGBT parallel circuit were studied and designed especially, which makes the current sharing evenly in the paralleled IGBTs. Finally, the generator was tested to evaluate the performance of the output impulse current, PMF waveform and the focusing performance of the magnetic field focusing coil. The test results show that the PMF generator operates stably and reliably, the amplitude and repetition rate of the output magnetic induction intensity can be adjusted freely within large adjustment ranges. The maximum amplitude of the PMF at the focus point in focusing plane is about 1 mT, while the rise time and pulse width are 1 μs and 3.5μs, respectively. The PMF is focused successfully within a S80% area of about 2.6 × 10^-3 m^2, which is only 2.07% of the whole focusing plane area. The development of the PMF generator lays a foundation for future tumor treatment experiments
