I don't want my comments to be a source of disparagement of Leo's
work. I haven't spent a great deal of time studying what he has
done, but in all of the scope pictures he has presented, there is
very significant leading edge overshoot and ripple. To my weathered
eyes the peaking and ripple appears to be 20-30% of the pulse
amplitude.
Leo supplied my (early revision BNC) pulser with a CSA803 screenshot
showing measured rising edge aberrations of 9.4% P-P and falling edge
aberrations of 3.6% P-P. This compares favorably with my S-52s and
other tunnel diode pulsers. I believe he has improved the layout
since that time.
