Abstract

A transmission which requires only a single source to transmit is generated in accordance with a code which is binary (a pulse train having two levels which produces a specific harmonic line spectrum). The pulses are generated by pulse time modulation of the position and duration of pulses in a sweep which extends to the upper end of the spectrum.
