The document discusses the use of narrow pulse modulation with microwave signal generators. It notes that maintaining pulse amplitude accuracy becomes difficult below a certain minimum pulse width, as the automatic level control (ALC) loops cannot keep up. For most microwave signal generators, this limit is 1 microseconds, but Gigatronics' generators can maintain accuracy down to 350 nanoseconds. It also warns that the initial calibration pulse when entering narrow pulse mode can be much wider than the desired pulses and potentially damage sensitive devices, but that Gigatronics' generators have a calibration pulse of 1 millisecond compared to up to 50 milliseconds for competitors.
