Method and apparatus for generating high current, fast rise time step-functions

摘要

Method and apparatus to produce a step function with a designed transition (rise and/or fall) time on the order of 10 ns that reaches steady state by implementing a system that sums a number of currents at different rise times (frequencies) to generate the step function. The system also includes a passive output filter, composed of low resistance, inductance and very low capacitance to mitigate overshoot and high frequency noise.
