ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for generating and radiating electromagnetic energy for use in heating the upper atmosphere. For such an application, the cost per watt is a dominant design factor. The invention minimizes the cost per watt by minimizing the number of active devices utilized. A single active device is used to charge and discharge a short circuited antenna at a rate which is essentially the same as the antenna's resonant frequency.
