Abstract :
We suggest to use the effect of cyclotron resonance absorption for modulation of microwave signals. Stationary signal transforms into the sequence of soliton-like pulses during interaction with rectilinear electron beam. For operating frequency of 250 GHz output pulses can possess subnanosecond durations.
