Abstract
A staged circuit includes a plurality of switching elements in series. Each of the switching elements includes two switches operated in concert. Separate but correlated clock signals drive the switches of each switching element. Switch timing for the switches in each switching element is tuned via certain delays to produce transients with variable characteristics. Furthermore, the number of switching elements may be adjusted to produce transients with variable characteristics. The staged circuit defines a time-varying transmission line and can be used as a driver for a NLTL source.
