Abstract

A novel picosecond pulse shaping circuit with inverse Gaussian monocycle waveform is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the pulse shaping circuit utilizes the step recovery diode (SRD, Schottky diode) and RC differentiator to construct the monocycle pulse. Secondly, using the discontinuity in junction and load resistor for establishing the matching networks as well as to decide the inverse shape of pulse. Both simulation and measurement results are with good agreement in time-domain and frequency-domain responses. For UWB applications, an ultra-short inverse Gaussian monocycle pulse with duration 350ps, symmetry 37.03% and related ringing level 7.9% has been obtained.
