GaAs bulk-effect pulse regenerator with a Schottky barrier control gate

A high-speed three-terminal pulse regenerator that is operable under dc-biased conditions and having the trigger sensitivity of as small as 0.1 volt has been developed to a practical level for the first time. The device can generate pulses of 0.3 - 1 ns width with output power levels in excess of 0.5 volt into a 50 Ω line.
