ABSTRACT:
A power source, a primary inductor, a load capacitance, and one or more tuned branch resonators and switching devices are coupled to generate pulses which represent a superposition of sinusoidal waveforms. The primary inductor is connected between the power source and the load. At the start of each cycle the load is coupled to ground and each tuned-branch resonators is reinitialized to re-energize the circuits and to stabilize the waveform when the frequencies of the sinusoidal waveforms are non-periodic.
