Abstract :
A 5 Cbit/s multiplexer using a step-recovery diode, microstrip transmission delay lines and fast p-i-n diode switches has been investigated. The signal/distortion ratio is 12 dB, where most of the distortion is due to an imperfect input signal. The overall multiplexer seems to be simple enough to be adopted in highcapacity optical-fibre communication systems.
