Non-linear dispersive pulse generator

摘要

A non-linear dispersive pulse generator for producing pulsed radio frequency electrical signals includes a non-linear dispersive electrical circuit ( 1 ) incorporating at least one non-linear element ( 2 ) made of a material sensitive to low power signals and a means ( 5 ) of producing a variable power control signal ( 6 ) and applying it to the element ( 2 ) to modify the extent of the non linearity of the element ( 2 ) and thereby vary the output frequency of the radio frequency electrical signal generated by the generator.
