PG-1500 High Amplitude Pulse Generator

Pulse generator

High Amplitude Pulse Generator

The Pulse Rider Series includes a set of fast rise time pulse generators, that offer premium signal integrity with the easiest to use touch screen display interface (SimpleRider™), that allows pulse creation in few screen touches.

The signal output Voltage can be adjusted up to 50 Volts pp-pk in a window of ±25 Volts with 400 ps edge rate.

Its innovative hardware architecture provides the possibility to generate multiple pulse sequences, such as double, triple or quad pulses, with fully independent timing parameters. The maximum repetition rate of Pulse Rider Pulse Generator is 400MHz and the minimum pulse width is 1 ns @ 50V

Take a look to the video below to see how to create a  pulse, or download the full documentation in the doc section below, to learn more.

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) Testing

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface.
The performance of GPR is mainly determined by the pulse generator and evaluated by the resolution, detection distance and so on.

A pulse with narrow width, high repetition frequency and high amplitude usually brings a better resolution.
The PG-1500 Series allows to generate up to 50 Vpp pulses with a narrow width of 1 ns and a maximum repetition rate of 400 MHz.

Highlights

  • Earth science, military, vehicle localization applications
  • Nondestructive (NDT) testing of structures and pavements
  • Archeology and burial sites application

Semiconductor Characterization

Newer technologies applied on the Non-Volatile RAM require faster pulses every day: Active Technologies Pulse Rider with transition time under 400 ps, an amplitude up to 50 Vpp, and a time resolution of 10 ps combined to the vertical resolution of 10 mV is the perfect choice for those kinds of requirements.

Developing modern MOSFET transistor, the challenge is to use high κ material for the dielectric in MOS capacitor, this give the advantage of reduce the leakage current through the isolator but at the same time, it causes some problem due to charge trapping. Short and Slow Pulses tests are fundamental techniques to study those kinds of problems.

The Active Technologies Pulse Rider PG-1500 Series pulse generators supply fast edges under 400 ps, a baseline offset of +-25 V and a pulse width from 1 ns up to 1 s, so it may be the ideal instrument to generate the pulses for Short and Slow Pulse tests.

Highlights

  • Non-Volatile Memory Cells Characterization
  • Mosfet Test
  • Short, Slow and Narrow Pulses tests
