Pulse-forming reactance network shapes a quasi-rectangular pulse from sinusoidal voltage

The paper describes the synthesis of a pulse-forming reactance network that shapes a quasi-rectangular voltage pulse at a resistive load when the source of sinusoidal voltage connected to the network is turned on. The derivative of the output pulse voltage is described by positive and delayed negative semi-periods of the sine-squared function. The real and imaginary parts of the Laplace transform of this pulse are expanded in infinite products. Then, using a finite number of terms in these products one can obtain the transfer function realizable as a reactance network loaded by a resistor.
