Patent ID: 7856570

Claim:
A method and system for shaping an electronic pulse with a two-pulse response, comprising: An input node for receiving an initial electronic pulse with an associated source impedance, said input node splitting the electronic pulse into a first path and a second path; an output node for combining together the first path and the second path into an output path, and for transmitting a shaped electronic pulse; wherein: the first path comprises: a first module for establishing a characteristic input impedance and introducing a first time delay; a matched passive attenuator with substantially identical bidirectional gain, matched to the characteristic path impedance, for reducing the amplitude of a received electronic pulse; a first resistive element coupling the output of the matched attenuator with the second node; and, the second path comprises: a second module for establishing a characteristic input impedance and introducing a second time delay; a second resistive element coupling the output of the second module with the second node.
