Abstract

We examine the advantages of using photoconductive switches in the jitter-free linear mode of operation. We show that the jitter-free property of a linear-mode PC switch can be used to coherently add power in a free-space ultra-wideband radiation system. This approach allows PC switches to be operated at reasonable power levels where operation is very reliable.
