Abstract

Compressive Pulse Amplifiers Are a Class of Amplifiers that Convert Long Low Amplitude Signals into Very Broadband Pulses of High Amplitude, Yielding a Very High Instantaneous Peak Power Output Pulse. However, in the Realm of Electronic Immunity and Susceptibility Testing, Very Broadband Short Pulses Are Not Always Desired. This Work Presents a Design for a Compressive Amplifier that is Aimed at Creating Arbitrary Pulsed Signals of Varying Bandwidths. Limitations of the Achievable Gain and Methods Used Are Discussed.
