Abstract
A method for generation of ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses with a nanosecond length and a picosecond rise time has been proposed and studied. A horn antenna with a photoconductive switch irradiated by laser pulses has been used as an emitter. It is shown that the length of ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses is determined by the antenna length and the semiconductor material and the rise front is determined by the front of laser pulses used to initiate a photoconductive switch. Typical pulse lengths of ~1 ns with a rise front of up to ~34 ps are reported.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Physics is a journal that publishes new research in physics of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia in the form of short articles. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
