A low cost comb generator for frequency synthesis applicartions
Introduction A comb generator is a simple but useful piece of equipment. Most comb-generators rely on a Step-recovery-diode (SRD) to create very narrow pulses which are rich in harmonics. Unfortunately step recovery diodes are expensive and very fragile (easily damaged by ESD). Now they are hard to find. This post shows one low-cost alternative design…
