George writes: “But then realized that a NSA project I worked on while going for my MSEE at KU showed the way to generate real time sampling pulses at very high frequencies. | |||
Just use a klystron. Velocity modulate the beam at the desired sampling frequency and then place a catch electrode at the point where the electrons combine in pulses at the modulating frequency. Klystrons usually place a cavity there to collect the amplified RF signal. | |||
That was the basis for the project I was assigned to. 60 years ago…” | |||
