  15. Transmitter – Pulse generation with D-Latch and single bipolar transistor • TTL-outputsignal drives transistor into saturation • Due to the step recovery effect a steep rising edge at the collector is generated • Differentiation with a short circuited stub • Elimination of the negative components with a clipping diode Pulse generation circuitry 15
