We demonstrate coherent beam combining of two femtosecond fiber chirped-pulse amplifiers seeded by a common oscillator. Using a feedback loop based on an electro-optic phase modulator, an average power of 7.2 W before compression is obtained with a combining efficiency of 90%. The spatial and temporal qualities of the oscillator are retained, with a recombined pulse width of 325 fs. This experi...

The SPEAR III injection kicker system is composed of three kicker magnets, K1, K2, and K3. These magnets, along with the power modulators to drive them constitute an injection system which will be used to deflect an incoming electron beam with an energy of 3.3 GeV by an angle of 2.5 mrad for K1 and K3, and 1 mrad for K2. The pulse shape of the magnetic field in the three magnets must be matched...

We present a high efficiency source of picosecond pulses derived from dual cavity optical frequency comb generator. This approach overcomes the limitations single generators that are restricted to efficiencies few percent. achieve with GHz repetition rates offering over hundred times higher output than design and demonstrate tuning pulse width by varying modulation depth intra-cavity electro-op...

a fully integrated, ultra low-power, varying pulse width fifth-order derivative Gaussian pulse generator designed and fabricated in a commercial 0.18μm CMOS technology is reported for 3-10GHz impulse ultra wideband (UWB) transceivers. The fifth-order derivative Gaussian pulse generator circuit consists of four parallel Gaussian pulse formation blocks and an output stage. It can generate UWB pul...

Pulse width modulation and pulse density are deemed to be main techniques, even PDM could not emulate PWM, in terms of, basically, simplicity. bitstream is encoded through sigma-delta modulation. Since modulation, compared needs very high switching frequency more complicated materials compose circuits, it’s difficult design one. In this article we a low-power class-D audio amplifier circuit whe...

In this work we propose an orthogonal pulse waveform for wireless ultra wideband (UWB) transmission. The design is based on an ideal low-pass prototype filter having a windowed sinc impulse response. The frequency response of the prototype filter is transferred to the high frequency region using a specific sign modulator. The UWB pulse waveform comprises of the weighted summation of the left si...

Discrete Pulse Width Modulated controller for buck converter is described. The key building blocks are Analog to Digital converter, compensator, and digital pulse width modulator is introduced to meet the requirement of perfect output voltage regulation, high-speed dynamic response, and programmability.

The subject of this paper is a general theory for a switched power converter, where the switch is controlled according to a pulse-width-modulation strategy. The pulse-width-modulated switched power converter is transformed into an equivalent discrete-time system. With this system the existence, uniqueness and stability of stationary solutions is investigated. Also stability of deviations from a...

in scpc-dama satellite networks, the baseband rrc pulse shaping is utilized to reduce the bandwidth and inter symbol interference (isi). but the variation in carrier's envelope, which expands the spectrum and ultimately increases the bandwidth, causes isi and quadrature channel crosstalk (qcc). the goal of this paper is to introduce a method to shape baseband rrc pulses, in order to make a near...

An all solid-state kicker modulator for the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test facility (DARHT-2) has been designed and tested. This kicker modulator uses multiple solid-state modules stacked in an inductive-adder configuration where the energy is switched into each section of the adder by a parallel array of MOSFETs. The modulator features very fast rise and fall times, pulse width agili...
