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.
Claims6
A method of generating microwave signals, comprising:
- closing a first switch to discharge a first central segment into transmission line conductors;
- closing a second switch to discharge a second central segment into transmission line conductors after a period of delay in order to create, together with the closing of the first switch, a bipolar pulse;
- wherein the first and second switch are connected in parallel with the transmission line conductors.
