High-Accuracy Methods for Cyclic-Like Aclock Digitization of Subnanosecond Signals

Abstract

Methods and tools of cyclogenerative aclock ultrashort-pulse signal digitization are discussed, which, in contrast to stroboscopic signals, allow a subnanosecond radio pulse to be reconstructed and reproduced in a single reception. The main advantages and drawbacks of the methods for time division and cycliclike regeneration of nonstationary signal processes based on high-speed semiconductor electronics are reported. The prospects and trends of radiophotonic techniques for high-speed digitization of subnanosecond radio pulses are outlined.
