Patent 7701308 was granted and assigned to Raytheon on April, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A radio frequency modulator system having a radio frequency amplifier controlled by a pulse modulator. The pulse modulator includes: a first switching circuit response to an input pulse for coupling a dc voltage relative to a reference potential to the output electrode when the radio frequency signal is to be amplified by the radio frequency amplifier and for decoupling the dc voltage from the output electrode when the radio frequency signal is to be decoupled from the output electrode wherein charge is stored in the storage element when the dc voltage is coupled to the output electrode; and: a second switching circuit responsive to the input pulse for discharging the stored charge when the dc voltage is decoupled from the output electrode.
