Abstract
A high voltage pulse clipper for stabilizing the amplitude of successive pulses applied, for example, as modulator pulses to a microwave transmitter. A source of such pulses has its output connected across a capacitor through a series diode whereby the capacitor charge acts as a back bias for the diode. The ground potential side of the capacitor includes a circuit which adds a voltage in opposition to that extant across the capacitor to equalize the capacitor error voltage resulting from variations of the input pulse amplitude and pulse spacing.
