US12742616 - Method for operating an ultra-wideband electromagnetic source

The patent describes a method for generating an ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulse by utilizing a voltage source and a bipolar vector inversion generator to compress and amplify the voltage pulse. The process culminates in radiating the pulse through an antenna assembly after further compression and amplification.

Claim 1

1 . A method of generating an ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulse, the method comprising: initiating a voltage source; producing a voltage pulse using the voltage source; receiving the voltage pulse at a bipolar vector inversion generator (VIG) assembly; compressing and amplifying the voltage pulse using the bipolar VIG assembly to produce a compressed, differential voltage pulse; further compressing the compressed, differential voltage pulse using a peaking gap assembly to produce a balanced peak pulse; applying the balanced peak pulse to one or more sets of antenna arms; and radiating the ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulse using an antenna assembly. initiating a voltage source; producing a voltage pulse using the voltage source; receiving the voltage pulse at a bipolar vector inversion generator (VIG) assembly; compressing and amplifying the voltage pulse using the bipolar VIG assembly to produce a compressed, differential voltage pulse; further compressing the compressed, differential voltage pulse using a peaking gap assembly to produce a balanced peak pulse; applying the balanced peak pulse to one or more sets of antenna arms; and radiating the ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulse using an antenna assembly.
