Abstract
ABSTRACTLow‐ringing and reduced‐cost pulse generators for ultrawideband applications using step recovery diode (SRD) have been reported in this article. The circuits generate Gaussian pulses of 170 ps pulse width and a minimal ringing of −22 dB and monocycles of 401 ps duration and high fractional bandwidth of 162%. Cost‐reduction is mainly attributed to the resistive attenuator and single SRD used. Negligible change in circuits' performance was witnessed for repetition rate from 1 to 100 MHz which makes it apt for low to medium range ground penetrating radar applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
