Abstract
A pulsed transistor amplifier operating under transitory operating conditions at ultra high frequency, enabled as rapidly as possible, comprises capacitive means connected directly at the terminals of the transistor between emitter and collector when the transistor has its base to ground. In the case where the amplifier comprises two push-pull connected transistors, two capacitors are provided and one is connected between the emitter of one transistor and the collector of the other.
Claims6
A transistor microwave amplifier operating under pulse operating conditions comprises:
- at least one transistor connected with base to ground and receiving input pulses;
- an input inductance placed in parallel across the base and connected to the emitter of said at least one transistor;
- a collector inductance connected to the collector of said at least one transistor;
