摘要:
A timing delay circuit (34) includes a first transistor (Q5) having a control electrode (Q5B) coupled to an input terminal (34a), a reference electrode (Q5C) coupled to a first DC bias terminal (28a) and an output electrode (Q5E) coupled to an output terminal (34b) of the timing delay circuit (34); a second transistor (Q6) having a control electrode (Q6B) coupled to the input terminal (34a), a reference electrode (Q6C) coupled to a second bias terminal (28b) and an output electrode (Q6E); and a third transistor (Q7) having a control electrode (Q7B) coupled to the output electrode (Q6E) of the second transistor (Q6), a reference electrode (Q7C) coupled to the second bias terminal (28b) and an output electrode (Q7E) coupled to the output terminal (34b) of the timing delay circuit (34). The timing delay circuit (34) is the output stage of a driver circuit (28) for a PIN diode (36) which acts as a limiter between a radar transmit/receive duplexor (14) and the radar receiver (20). Control logic signals are applied to a line circuit (24) and converted into signals of suitable voltage and current by a CCD device (26), a voltage translator circuit (30), and a current amplifier (32) before application to the input terminal (34a) of the timing delay circuit (34), which ensures rapid switching.
