Transmission line based power averaging

A method for pulsating power filtration is suggested in this paper. The main principle for this kind of solution is based on the fact that the time of appearance of a pulse traveling on a channel (transmission line in this case) is directly proportional to the electrical length of the channel. Thus, if power pulses are fed into a group of transmission lines, simultaneously, they may reach the end points sequentially, if certain measures are taken. The main features of the topology are: (a) opposite to other low pass filters this kind of filter is capable of transforming a rectangular voltage pulse into rectangular pulse of wider duration and lower magnitude, yet with the very same rise and fall time; (b) the switching elements (the system consists of) need to withstand much lower peak power than the pulse input power; (c) the system is suitable for extremely high frequencies and for very short rise and decay times of rectangular pulses.
