Abstract
Abstract 1. A random pulse generator comprising a blocking oscillator having an input circuit and output circuit, a random frequency noise source connected to said input circuit for triggering said oscillator, integrating means connected to said output circuit for generating a direct current voltage proportional to the average repetition frequency of the output pulses of said oscillator, and means for coupling said direct current voltage to said input circuit whereby the period of said average repetition frequency is maintained substantially constant.
