Designing a Step-Recovery-Diode-Based Comb Generator

摘要

A comb generator was successfully created using nonlinear simulation techniques. The implemented topology supported the creation of multiple harmonics from a single diode. The measured results are in close correlation with the simulated values. Several comb generator circuits were fabricated during the design phase. Consistency among each of the circuits valid=ated the design's robustness. Thus, the usage of the Microwave Office nonlinear simulation software resulted in a comb-generator circuit design that accurately predicted 12 harmonics.
