8-B-14: Pulse Forming Networks Modulation

8-14B1: The pulse developed by the modulator may have an amplitude greater than the supply voltage. This is possible by:

Employing a resonant charging choke.

Using a voltage multiplier circuit.

Discharging a capacitor through an inductor.

Discharging two capacitors in series and combining their charges.



8-14B2: Pulse transformers and pulse-forming networks are commonly used to shape the microwave energy burst RADAR transmitter. The switching devices most often used in such pulse-forming circuits are:

SCR’s and Thyratrons.

Power MOSFETS and Triacs.

Switching transistors.

Thyratrons and BJT’s.



8-14B3: The purpose of the pulse-forming network is to:

Determine the width of the modulating pulses.

Determine the pulse repetition rate.

Act as a high pass filter.

Act as a log pass filter.



8-14B4: The shape and duration of the high-voltage pulse delivered to the magnetron is established by:

An artificial delay line.

An RC network in the keyer stage.

The duration of the modulator input trigger.

The time required to saturate the pulse transformer.



8-14B5: Pulse-forming networks are usually composed of the following:

Series inductors and shunt capacitors.

Series capacitors and shunt inductors.

Resonant circuit with an inductor and capacitor.

None of the above.



8-14B6: An artificial transmission line is used for:

Determining the shape and duration of pulses.

The transmission of RADAR pulses.

Testing the RADAR unit, when actual targets are not available.

Testing the delay time for artificial targets.
