Abstract
Ultra-narrow pulses serve as critical components in numerous applications. These pulses have ultra-fast leading edges that typically function as precision trigger signals to synchronize various instruments. Ultra-narrow pulses inherently exhibit an ultra-wide bandwidth, gaining significant attention in diverse electronic systems encompassing communications, radar imaging, electronic warfare, and others. Although several techniques have been explored for generating ultra-narrow pulses, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a promising alternative in terms of flexibility and integration. This study introduces a scalable delay pulse synchronizer method with a resolution of 23 ps. A programmable, successive, narrow pulse sequence operating at a 1-GHz repetition frequency is implemented within a monolithic FPGA. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using an existing board with a general commercial FPGA in the laboratory. This new method presents a convenient and efficient approach of achieving ultra-narrow pulse synchronization, being applicable across various fields.
