Pulse Amplifiers Using Transistor Circuits

Transistor circuits simplify the design of pulse amplifiers because of their essentially linear gain characteristics. The low heat dissipation of such circuits permits small packages. The variations in transistor gain and leakage can be minimized by converting the high single stage gain to stability through the use of emitter feedback. Linearity and response to fast-rise pulses is shown for specifiic scintillation amplifier circuits.
