A picosecond pulse generator based on a pair of step recovery diodes (SRD),leveraging the transient response of the SRD PN junction and controlling thepulse width by a resistor, is proposed. We first explain the operationprinciple of the device, decomposing the pulse generation into differentphases, and then demonstrate an experimental prototype with two differentresistance, and hence pulse width, values.
