  • Fast rise pulse oscillator
    Patent number: 4873499
    Abstract: A circuit and method of operation thereof for initiating a fast rise pulse scillator in a projectile fuzing system is less susceptible to external counter measures. The oscillator circuit includes an oscillator transistor which has a step recovery diode connected to the base of the transistor. The step recovery diode is forward biased for storing charge therein and then reverse biased thereby producing an internal transient in a tank circuit, also connected to the base of the transistor, which produces a rapid buildup of oscillations.
