Abstract
A simple Picosecond pulse shaping and compression circuit with a 0.3 m um GaAs MESFET is reported. A 2V amplitude negative pulse with full wi dth at half maximum of approximately 30 ps is obtained at the 50 OMEGA output. The observed pulse shaping and the pulse width compression fa ctor G(PW) greater-than-or-equal-to 2.6 show the beneficial influence of the strongly nonlinear regime of the FET on the performances. The r esults and further pulse narrowing are discussed using time domain sim ulations of the pulser.
