The PIN Diode Modulator output signal must be adjustable to provide a rise/fall time of a minimum range of 15 ns to 25 ns and a pulse width with a minimum range of 25 ns to 40 ns. This output signal is used to precisely control the RF that drives a Traveling Wave Tube in the transmitter section of the Airport Surface Detection Equipment - Model 3 (ASDE-3) radar system.
