Abstract

This paper presents an improved ultra-wideband monocycle pulse generator circuit based on step recovery diode. This pulse generator circuit uses short-circuit microstrip transmission line to generate the Gaussian pulse the monocycle pulse. The improved pulse-shaping network employs two schottky diodes and a MESFET to suppress the pulse ringing. The SRD model was built in RF simulation software ADS, and then the design and simulation of the pulse generator circuit was accomplished using this model. The experiments showed an monocycle pulse of 400ps pulse width with good symmetry. The measured results agreed with the simulation.
