The proposed two-stroke pulse sharpeners have a relatively low output power (1.5 W). This limits the use of such sharpeners for their intended purpose: for observing small nonlinear ultrawideband responses from objects in diagnostic, measuring and radar systems. In the article an approach to increase the output power of a sharpener is considered. At this approach the output pulse is created not by discharging the capacitance to the load, but by switching the current flowing through an inductive
