| Abstract | This thesis is concerned with the problems which need consideration when designing a nanosecond pulse generator having a repeatable pulse width and amplitude output. The basic circuit is first presented and analyzed and the reasons for wide variations in pulse width with replacement of transistors are pointed out. To make the pulse width more repeatable it was necessary to have a constant output from the first stage. This was required since the amount of drive to the second stage was shown to be important for repeatability. The optimum value for the coupling resistor, R[subscript b], was determined experimentally by measuring pulse widths for 30 different transistors and various values of R[subscript b]. A 95% confidence interval was calculated for the variance from the data obtained. It was shown that it is possible to reduce the response time to the input signal which may be desirable for some applications. |
