Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating complex microwave signals in which microwave signals are directly generated by the simultaneous application of a number of analog voltages to points distributed along a transmission line. These signals may be generated by a digital computer or other means and may be altered in phase, frequency and amplitude by simply varying the relative levels of the analog voltages applied along the transmission line, thus allowing very complex microwave waveforms to be generated.
