I am trying to make a UWB pulse generator in Agilent Advanced Design System. the paper i have been working on is mentioned below. In this paper a pulse is generated by using a step recovery diode. http://wcsp.eng.usf.edu/UWB_Testbed_Docs/RedRinging.pdf
I need to simulate the circuit using a impulse generator in time domain. Impulse of .3ns is fed at the input of Step recovery diode. SRD used in this work is Metallics MMD841. SRD should give a Gaussian pulse at the output. But the result i am getting is a pulse with a jitter in between. attached is the file for circuit and output of SRD.
in 2nd step i need to connect it with a short circuited stub to get a gaussian monocycle pulse. In the above mentioned paper, it is stated that the duration of the pulse is dependant on the length of transmission line. I am having problem in connecting a transmission line of reasonable length. One way is to calculate the S-parameter response of the circuit and then design a short circuited shunt stub using Smith software simulator. Can it be done in ADS.
Also i need to find the Power spectral density of the pulse generated as it needs to be checked either it is compatible with FCC emission mask or not.
