Abstract
Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to transmit an initial pulse to a directional coupler, where the initial pulse has an initial amplitude and a timed overshoot of a selected duration. Further activities may include stepping down the initial amplitude to an amplitude approximately equal to the initial amplitude times a mode reflection coefficient squared. A tuning stub may be coupled to a charge line to transmit the initial pulse, and decoupled from the charge line to refrain from receiving an echo pulse associated with the initial pulse.
Claims24
An apparatus, including:
- a directional coupler;
- a charge line to couple to the directional coupler;
- a tuning stub;
- and
- a matching component to couple the tuning stub to the charge line.
A system, including:
- a directional coupler;
- a charge line to couple to the directional coupler;
- a tuning stub;
- a matching component to couple the tuning stub to the charge line;
- and
- a circuit board attached to the charge line, the tuning stub, and the matching component.
A method, including:
- transmitting an initial pulse to a directional coupler, the initial pulse having an initial amplitude and a timed overshoot of a selected duration;
- and
- stepping down the initial amplitude to a subsequent amplitude of approximately the initial amplitude times a mode reflection coefficient squared at about the end of the selected duration.
An article including a machine-accessible medium having associated information, wherein the information, when accessed, results in a machine performing:
- transmitting an initial pulse to a directional coupler, the initial pulse having an initial amplitude and a timed overshoot of a selected duration;
- and
- stepping down the initial amplitude to a subsequent amplitude of approximately the initial amplitude times a mode reflection coefficient squared at about the end of the selected duration.
