Signals radiated in the microstrip autocorrelation circuit are investigated using ion-bombarded InP photoconductors. A model and empirical data are presented which suggest that this circuit radiatively couples to itself, giving rise to what appears to be a ''slow'' signal in the autocorrelation data. It is demonstrated that with a judicious choise of electrode geometry, a subpicosecond signal radiated by the photoconducting gap can be separated from the slower signal radiated by the microstrip electrodes.
