Abstract :
This paper describes a novel method of generating a pulse sequence using step-recovery diodes shunting a transmission line. Individual pulses in the train may have risetimes less than 60 ps with amplitudes greater than 10 V. The many potential applications of the device include a short RF pulse generator, an FM generator, and a high-speed word generator.
