Generation of ultra-short pulses using the Wilkinson adder

Abstract

In this work the possibility of increasing the amplitude of ultra-short pulses and formation of a monocycle Gaussian by adding signals from several oscillators was investigated. For this purpose, the ring adders of Wilkinson design were used. The design of which has been chosen due to low losses and high input decoupling. The S-parameters of the adders with different geometrical parameters have been simulated in the frequency band up to 5 GHz. The obtained results coincided with the experimentally measured characteristics. The monopulse amplitude was increased and a bipolar pulse shape was formed by adding ultrashort pulses of equal and different polarities using the adders. This approach allows you to adjust the parameters of the output signal by adjusting the delays of the triggering signals.
