RF microwave circuit and pulse shaping method

A pulse shaping circuit, comprising:

• circuitry for compressing a rising edge of an input pulse;
• a coupled-line differentiator connected to the rising edge compressing circuitry to differentiate the input pulse to form a square wave pulse, and a Gaussian pulse;
• circuitry for compressing the falling edge of the square wave pulse connected to the coupled-line differentiator;
• a Schottky detector differentiator connected to the coupled-line differentiator to differentiate the Gaussian wave pulse to form a monocycle pulse;
• and
• a clamping and filter circuit connected to the coupled line differentiator to filter out the positive or negative portion of the Gaussian wave pulse.

A method of simultaneously shaping pulses, comprising the steps of:

• receiving an input periodic waveform pulse;
• differentiating the input pulse to form a square wave pulse and a Gaussian pulse;
• and
• differentiating the Gaussian pulse to form a monocycle pulse.
