Chlorine-oxygen transmit-received stage to operate at short pulse widths, low pulse repetition frequencies, and wide duty cycles
Abstract
Abstract The invention consists of a mixture of chlorine gas, (C12), and oxygen gas, (O2), to be used in place of pure C12 gas in transmit-receive stages for stable operation at shorter radio frequency pulse widths, lower pulse repetition frequencies and wider duty cycles than was previously possible with C12 gas alone. The mixture reduces the power necessary for ionization of the gas in the stage which decreases the random amplitude modulation on the leakage envelope and reduces the total spike energy output to the receiver making it possible to use more sensitive receivers without danger of their being damaged by spike leakage. The invention also provides a much faster recovery time than is possible with a mixture of C12 gas and noble gas which yields the same leakage as that of the invention.
