Description:
The passive Impulse Forming Network has the unique property of providing an output that is approximately the derivative of the input waveform,
while maintaining an excellent impedance match on all ports. When driven by a step, the output is an impulse; when driven by an impulse, the output is a monocycle.
Transfer Function:
Vout=Tc * dVin/dt
where Tc is the derivative time coefficient.
A third port, labeled “DC”, is terminated in 50 Ohm. A DC bias voltage, or pedestal pulse may be applied to this DC port.
