Patent ·
OSTI ID:5635803

This patent describes an apparatus for converting EM pulses to higher power amplitude and shorter duration. The apparatus consists of first and second four-port coupler means; the second four-port coupler means having its second output port coupled to the second input port of the first four-port coupler means; a first delay means; a second delay means, coupled between the first output port of the second four-port coupler means and the first input port of the first four-port coupler means; means for supplying respective first and second simultaneous EM pulses to the first and second input ports of the second four-port coupler means; means for supplying including associated means for impressing respective phase codings on the first and second EM pulses before supplying the EM pulses to the second four-port coupler means.
