Patent ID: 8358240

Claim:
A system for generating a signal, comprising: a monocycle generator configured to generate a plurality of monocycles, each monocycle comprising a single cycle of a sinusoidal waveform, the plurality of monocycles forming a signal comprising a plurality of pulses, a pulse of the plurality of pulses corresponding to one or more monocycles of the plurality of monocycles; one or more temporal modulators coupled to the monocycle generator and configured to provide instructions the monocycle generator, the instructions comprising a control signal to instruct the monocycle generator to create a noncoherent spectral response in the signal; and a pulse shaper coupled to the monocycle generator, the pulse shaper configured to receive the plurality of pulses generated by the monocycle generator and perform the following for each pulse of the plurality of pulses: individually modulate at least one monocycle of the one or more monocycles corresponding to the each pulse to shape the each pulse; an information modulator coupled between the monocycle generator and the pulse shaper configured modulate the signal for encoding information content into the signal; and a controller coupled to the information modulator configured to control peak and average power for creating interference between a transmitter and a receiver, wherein the average power is derived from the peak power and a duty cycle, the peak power is derived from amplitude, and the duty cycle is determined by a pulse width and a pulse repetition interval.
