Abstract
The cathode-coupled amplifier circuit is used as a clipper with some advantages over the conventional pentode and diode types. An analytical solution is obtained for proper operating conditions to give the desired size of output pulse, allowable range of input voltages, bias values for symmetrical clipping, and the like. Regenerative feedback is shown to give considerable improvement in the clipping action, and design methods for obtaining optimum clipper performance are outlined.
