Abstract
A waveguide driving circuit for generating a current pulse in a waveguide includes a voltage source for providing a direct voltage, a choke the first terminal of which is coupled to a first terminal of the voltage source, a first switch the first terminal of which is coupled to a second terminal of the choke and the second terminal of which is coupled to a second terminal of the voltage source, the waveguide the first terminal of which at a first waveguide end is coupled to the first terminal of the first switch and the second terminal of which at the first waveguide end is coupled to a second terminal of the voltage source, and a controller implemented to open and close the first switch, to generate a current pulse at the terminals of the waveguide at the first waveguide end.
