Diode amplifiers which essentially rely on the storage and switching behavior of step-recovery diodes are investigated for regenerating high bit-rate PCM-type signals. Two preliminary hybridintegrated versions have been developed and tested at 300 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
