Signal reflector and circulator networks for synchronizing and combining the outputs of a plurality of oscillators
Abstract
Abstract A LOCKED OSCILLATOR SYSTEM IS COMPOSED OF A PLURALITY OF UNIT OSCILLATORS CONNECTED TOGETHER BY MEANS INCLUDING PARTICULARLY ADJUSTED SIGNAL REFLECTORS. IN ONE CONFIGURATION, EACH REFLECTOR COMBINES A PREVIOUSLY GENERATED OUTPUT SIGNAL AND A UNIT OSCILLATOR SIGNAL TO PRODUCE A NEW AND A LARGER OUTPUT SIGNAL AND A SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL FOR THE NEXT UNIT OSCILLATOR. IN ANOTHER CONFIGURATION ONE SET OF REFLECTORS SPLITS A MASTER LOCKING SIGNAL INTO A NUMBER OF SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS AND A SECOND SET OF REFLECTORS COMBINES THE UNIT OSCILLATOR SIGNALS INTO ONE OUTPUT POWER SIGNAL. BOTH CONFIGURATIONS PROVIDE MEANS FOR APPLYING IDENTICAL SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS TO EACH UNIT OSCILLATOR AND FOR COMBINING THE SIGNALS FROM ALL UNIT OSCILLATORS INTO A SINGLE MICROWAVE POWER SOURCE.
