As the industrial technology is getting higher, the pulsed power technology is required from various fields such as thermonuclear fusion energy sources, military applications, electric power distribution, and a variety of new specialized needs. This technology deals with the generation of very high power electromagnetic pulses through fast switching. We fabricated a pulsed power generator, named EMD pulse generator, by using Marx circuit with 200 kV high, 50 ns fast rise time. In this paper, we described about an effect of stray capacitance of coaxial Marx generator, EPG-AM200k, and a comparing the results of experiments and circuit analysis.

In this paper, High order derivative Gaussian pulse generator for DS-UWB communication satisfying the regulation of FCC was proposed and fabricated. In order to transform rectangular signal of 100Mbps to a Gaussian pulse, the fabricated Gaussian pulse generator consists of only two SRD. The output pulse had the widths of 330 psec and amplitudes of 920 mV. In addition, the designed and fabricated dual bandpass filter shows high order derivate characteristics by using micro-strip line and parallel stub to remove WLAN band. We generated the 13th Gaussian pulse restricted frequency spectrum of WLAN band more than -25dB. The pulse had pulse width of 1 nsec and amplitude of 25 mV.

In this paper, an all-digital CMOS ultra-wideband(UWB) pulse generator for high band(6~10 GHz) frequency range is presented. The pulse generator is designed and implemented with extremely low power and low complexity. It is designed to meet the FCC spectral mask requirement by using Gaussian pulse shaping circuit and control the center frequency by using CMOS delay line with shunt capacitor. Measurement results show that the center frequency can be controlled from 4.5 GHz to 7.5 GHz and pulse width is 1.5 ns and pulse amplitude is 310 mV peak to peak at 10 MHz pulse repetition frequency(PRF). The circuit is implemented in 0.13 um CMOS process with a core area of only $182{\times}65um^2$ and dissipates the average power of 11.4 mW at an output buffer with 1.5-V supply voltage. However, the core consumes only 0.26 mW except for output buffer.

In this paper, we implemented a impulse generator, the one of the part in UWB(Ultra Wide Band) system using step recovery diode(SRD) and gain-switced semiconductor laser. The impulse generator was consisted of four stages; The first stage used SRD to generate the first impulse for gain switching. The second stage controled current for the suitable gain switching condition. The third was the second impulse generator to generate gaussian pulse. For gain switching, the first impulse was applied to semiconductor laser. In the last stage the gain switched impulse was converted into mono-gaussian pulse. The measured mono-gaussian pulse was 360 psec pulse-width and $-70mV \~ +50mV$ amplitude in time domain. In frequency domain its magnitude and bandwidth was, respectively, -41dBm and 3.6GHz. Accordingly, the impulse generator that we suggested was suitable for UWB systems.

In this paper, the UWB(Ultra-Wide Band) modules such as a pulse generator and the LNA(Low-Noise Amplifier) with AGC(Auto Gain Control) are designed to construct a cross-borehole pulse radar system, of which performance is compared with the existing system. The budget and specification of the radar system are determined by calculating the total path loss of the underground medium including an empty cavity. The pulse generator is fabricated to have the repeatation frequency 40 kHz, the pulse width lower than 5 ns and the peak signal level +73 dBm. The UWB LNA is designed to have the noise figure 3.77 dB, the variable gain range 100 dB and the frequency range of 20 MHz to 200 MHz. Compared with the existing system in an actual test site, the implemented system renders it possible to detect the blind area due to the UWB LNA with low noise figure.

In this paper we show impulse generator which is important component in UWB communication. There is two steps to generate monocycle impulse. In first step, Gaussian pulse was made by operation of transistor switching and operation time of transistor switching. The second step the high pass filter change from Gaussian to Monocycle impulse.
