H. Ghafourishiraz et al., A PROPOSAL OF SHORT-PULSE GENERATION USING NONLINEAR LC LADDER NETWORKS WITH AMPLIFIERS, Microwave and optical technology letters, 16(3), 1997, pp. 154-156
Experimental investigations have been performed on the generation of s
hort pulses using a 60-stage nonlinear LC ladder network with amplifie
rs to compensate for the network loss. The output amplitude and poise
width at stage 60 were measured to be 4.2 V and 144 ns, respectively,
for a rectangular 250 ns input pulse of amplitude 3 V and 250 ns. The
dependence of the output waveform on the bias voltage, input pulse wid
th, and amplitude have also been investigated. (C) 1997 John Wiley Son
