An electrical waveform generator based on an aperture-coupled stripline is described. The device is a four-port electrical directional coupler consisting of two striplines coupled through an aperture in their common ground plane. Replacing the aperture layer of the device can produce arbitrarily shaped electrical waveforms with 100 ps structure over a pulse envelope of several nanoseconds. A numerical solution of the telegraph equations using the method of characteristics is used to model and design devices. Excellent agreement is obtained between the model and device performance.
