Abstract
A monolithic synthetic transmission line pulse sharpener using a high power 0.25- mu m InGaAs-GaAs MODFET IC process is discussed. It current-sharpens a DC-to-5-GHz input to a pulse of at least 5-ps, 2-V output transition. This first implementation of a pulse-sharpening circuit in a MODFET IC process demonstrates the broadband capabilities of this technology for picosecond pulse-sharpening applications.<>
