Experiments on the regeneration of binary microwave pulses

A simple device has been produced for regenerating binary pulses directly at microwave frequencies. To determine the capabilities of such devices one of them was included in a circulating test loop in which pulse groups were passed through the device a large number of times. Results indicate that even in the presence of serious noise and bandwidth limitations pulses can be regenerated many times and still show no noticeable deterioration. Pictures of circulated pulses are included which illustrate performance of the regenerator.
