Abstract
Methods and apparatus or generating a radiation pulse sequence are disclosed. One embodiment of the apparatus includes two coupled direct space-to-time pulse generators (DSTPGs) with a channel operation element (COE) in between. The first DSTPG forms multiple spatially separated radiation pulse sequences. The COE operates to modify one or more of the radiation pulse sequences, such as imparting a time delay between them. The modified radiation pulse sequences are then combined by the second DSTPG to form a single output radiation pulse sequence.
