“…The ultra-wideband (UWB) signal, which is used in the highintensity field and high power microwave [1][2][3][4], is a specific impulse with a tiny pulse width, a wide frequency range, characteristics. The UWB signal fluctuates quickly with the EE of mobile platforms, making it imperative to record and quantify each UWB signal impulse.…”

In ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse parameter monitoring, amplitude and pulse width measurements are crucial for detecting and classifying unknown impulse signals. Meanwhile, mass sampling data and the complexity of the current measurement technologies are the limitations of real-time and continuous monitoring. It urges to adopt a simple method that reduces the sampling rate without sacrificing accuracy. This article suggests a novel approach for the monopole UWB by analog signal preprocessing before sampling. A peak detector and integrator are utilized to retain the impulse amplitude and the area inside the impulse for a period, which is the so-called waveform transformation. A low-speed two-channel synchronous ADC samples the output signals from the peak detector and the integrator to determine the amplitude and the area. In the signal process, we demonstrate the concept that pulse width value equals the division of area and amplitude. Due to the distorted amplitude caused by the response time of the peak detector, the relationship between the distorted amplitude, the actual amplitude, and the pulse width is analyzed and examined based on the response function. Finally, the actual amplitude and pulse width are acquired and calculated by solving two equations. In terms of impulse waveform, rectangular and Gaussian waveform factors are developed and applied in the measurement. The proof-of-concept experimental results of a 0.68 V/ 18.8 ns rectangular impulse at a 10 Msps sampling rate is 0.711 V/ 17.00 ns with 4.56 %/ 9.57% relative error, tested and verified.

“…One is the Tesla transformer, for example, the Sinus-type ultra-wideband system developed by the Institute of High Current Electronics (HCEI) [9][10][11][12], and RADAN series developed at the Institute of Electrophysics [13]. e other is to use the Marx generator to generate high-voltage pulse for driving bipolar pulse [14][15][16][17]. According to the published literature, the volume and weight of 10 GW bipolar pulse generators are relatively large, which limits the further application of the system.…”

A compact high-power ultra-wideband bipolar pulse generator based on a modified Marx circuit is designed, which is mainly composed of a primary power supply, Marx generator, sharpening and cutoff subnanosecond spark gap switches, and coaxial transmission lines. The Marx generator with modified circuit structure has thirty-two stages and is composed of eight disk-like modules. Each module consists of four capacitors, two spark gap switches, four charging inductors, and a mechanical support. To simplify the design of the charging structure and reduce the number of switches, four groups of inductors are used to charge the capacitors of the Marx generator, two of which are used for positive voltage charging and the other two for negative voltage charging. When the capacitor of each stage is charged to 35 kV, the maximum output peak voltage can reach 1 MV when the Marx generator is open circuit. The high-voltage pulse generated by the Marx generator charges the transmission line and forms a bipolar pulse through sharpening and cutoff switches. All transmission lines used for bipolar pulse generation have an impedance of 10 Ω. When the 950 kV pulse voltage generated by the Marx generator is fed into the transmission line, the bipolar pulse peak voltage can reach 390 kV, the center frequency of the pulse is about 400 MHz, and the output peak power is about 15.2 GW.
