Abstract

A method for generating short electric pulses, comprising the steps of generating a control pulse, feeding the control pulse to a bipolar transistor, which subsequently emits an output signal with a steep switch-off side by exploiting the charge storage effect of the bipolar transistor, and differentiating the output signal with the steep switch-off side so that short primary pulses are generated. An electric pulse generator is also disclosed.
