    Abstract: A circuit for providing a multiplexed input to an amplifier load matching network (12). The circuit includes a control device (14) receiving amplitude information (24) and phase information from a primary waveform, a plurality of switching devices (16, 18, 20, 22) in communication with the control device (14) and the amplifier, wherein each of the switching devices has a different "ON" resistance. The control device uses the amplitude information to select an active switching device and to control the device using phase information (26) to create a secondary waveform for input to the load matching network (12). In this way, an amplitude modulated waveform is amplified at high efficiency, enabling applicaiton of either all or part of the phase and/or amplitude modulation at the input of the amplifier.

    Abstract: In a method for voltage modulation using a plurality of modules (2) connected in series and connected to a load (3) , the modules having supply sources (Aj) and switching means (Mj ) to connect or disconnect the supply sources so as to either decrease or increase, respectively, a voltage applied to the load (3), by a value equal to the voltage (Ej) supplied by the supply source, the switching means (Mj) are controlled by a central unit (1) , according to processing of at least one modulating signal (m) . The method provides for a balanced operation of the modules (2) and a considerable increase of the duty cycle frequency (fc) , keeping the same heat losses on each module, so that a smaller and less expensive low-pass filter can be set on the load (3) .

    Abstract: A prescaler that operates in a broad band. The prescaler (33) includes a buffer (41) and a counter (43). The buffer includes a first amplification circuit (50), which has three inverter circuits (52a, 52b, 52c) of different drive capacities, a second amplification circuit (54), which has four series-connected inverter circuits (54a, 54b, 54c, 54d), and a feedback circuit (55). One of the inverter circuits (52a, 52b, 52c) is connected between a capacitor (C1) and an inverter circuit (54a) via a first switch circuit (51) and a second switch circuit (53). This varies the drive capacity of the first amplification circuit (50). The feedback circuit (55) functions as a variable resistor having two transistors (T1, T2).

    Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method of generating a high-power modulated radio-frequency signal from a low- or medium frequency information signal by pulse-forming of the information signal by means of a quantifier to form a digital signal having discrete signal values, generating one or more carrier waves of radio frequency, amplification by means of an amplifier comprising switches into a switched radio-frequency signal carrying the information, the switching events being controlled by the information content of the digital signal, and achieving the desired signal by means of a filter. The method is characterized in the carrier waves are generated by means of alternating radio-frequency voltages and that the amplification is performed by connecting the switches to the alternating carrier voltages, thus causing mixing of the digital signals with a corresponding carrier signal, in accordance with a given information content of the digital signal. The invention is also concerned with an apparatus to carry said method.

    Abstract: An amplifier responsive to a signal source 18 susceptible of having changing values as a function of time comprises at least several stages 34 switchable only to two different states, bi-level outputs associated with the states of the stages being summed together to derive a summed response that is a stepwise function of the source, means 109, 122, 121, 126, 125 responsive to the value of the signal source for deriving first and second commands 141 and 142 respectively indicating that the number of stages in one of said states is to increase and decrease, means 131, 132 responsive to the commands for increasing and decreasing the number of stages in first and second of said states so that the stage which has been in the first state the longest is switched to the second state in response to the second command and the stage which has been in the second state the longest is switched to the first state in response to the first command and for causing 123 different ones of said stages to be in the first state and different ones of said stages to be in the second state at different times even though there is no change in value of the source. As an alternative to deriving first and second commands, there may be derived a first indication 121 of the number of stages that should be in a first of said states and a second indication 125 of the number of stages actually in said first state, means 127 responsive to a comparison 126 of the first and second indications controlling the length of time each of said stages is in said first state and the number of said stages in said first state, said control means 127 including means 131 for storing a value commensurate with the number of stages in the one state, the value stored by the storing means being changed in response to the comparison indicating that the first indication exceeds the second indication and the second indication exceeds the first indication.
