Abstract
An electronic chopper and shaper was developed to perform the function of a mercury‐wetted relay in linear pulse forming applications such as required for sliding pulse generators. The chopper and shaper was operated at repetition rates up to 5000 Hz with a 2.2 μsec decay time constant. With a 100 Ω load, output pulses of 10 V amplitude had a rise time of 12 nsec. Tests performed with a 4096 channel pulse height analyzer showed no difference in spectra generated by this chopper and by a mercury‐wetted relay chopper. Static checks indicated the differential nonlinearity to be about ±0.1% for an output range from 20 mV to 10 V across a 100 Ω load.Keywords
