GENERATEUR D'IMPULSIONS UWB MODULEES EN PHASE

摘要

An ultra-wideband pulse generator for radio communication with phase modulation at frequencies of multiple gigahertz comprises an oscillator formed by a pair of intersecting differential branches that have two outputs connected to an LC resonant load. The transmission of a UWB pulse is caused by the application of a supply current to the differential pair over a few nanoseconds. Two current-injecting branches are respectively connected to the outputs S and S′. The control of phase modulation consists in applying an injection current to a single branch to unbalance the differential pair at the start of the generation of the UWB pulse. Depending on the side from which the injection current is applied, the oscillation at the carrier frequency will initiate with one phase or an opposite phase.
