Abstract
Conductor segments are positioned within a two conductor transmission line in order to generate microwave pulses. The conductor segments are switchably coupled to one or the other of the transmission lines in parallel. Microwave pulses may be induced in the transmission line by closing the switches in a controlled manner to discharge successive segments into the transmission lines. The induced waves travel uninterrupted along the transmission lines in a desired direction.
Claims10
An apparatus for generating a plurality of electrical impulses, comprising:
- two transmission line conductors;
- a plurality of conductive segments interposed between and electrically isolated from the two transmission lines, the segments capable of being charged;
- wherein each segment is operatively connected through a switch to one of the two transmission lines to create a microwave signal on the transmission lines.
