Pulse generators are electronic testing equipment that are used to generate pulses. They can either be internal circuits or pieces of electronic test equipment. Pulse generators can either be internal circuits or pieces of electronic test equipment used to generate pulses.

Salient Features

• Generally, simple pulse generators allow control of the pulse repetition rate like pulse width, frequency and the high and low-voltage levels of the pulses.
• There are some sophisticated pulse generators that may allow control over the rise time and fall time of the pulses.
• Usually, these generators use different techniques for their operation. Thus, they may use digital techniques, analog techniques, or a combination of both techniques to form the output pulses.

Applications

These generator finds application in the following areas:

• Pulse testing of laser diodes
• Research laboratories Medical fields
• Military applications
• Consumer fields
• Telecommunication Industry
