摘要：

Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTL's) fabricated with Schottky diodes on GaAs were used to electrically generate 3.7-V step functions that had a measured 10%-90% fall time of 0.68 ps. These NLTL's were integrated on wafer with sampling circuits that had a measured 3-dB bandwidth of 725 GHz. Key to circuit performance are the use of low-loss, high-wave-velocity elevated coplanar waveguide transmission lines and the elimination of active device pad parasitics by contacting devices above the plane of the wafer.
