A Novel Low-Ringing Monocycle Picosecond Pulse Generator Based on Step Recovery Diode.

This paper presents a high-performance low-ringing ultra-wideband monocycle picosecond pulse generator, formed using a step recovery diode (SRD), simulated in ADS software and generated through experimentation. The pulse generator comprises three parts, a step recovery diode, a field-effect transist...
