SWITCHED WAVEFORM OSCILLATOR.

A non-linear electric oscillator for generating pulses comprising: at least one active device (101, 151, q1); a polarization network (120, 170, 470) for polarizing and feeding said active device (101, 151, q1); a feedback network (110, 160, 460) connected to at least one port (451b, 451e) of said active device (101, 151, q1); a non-linear transmission line (102, 152, 452). The non-linear transmission line (102, 152, 452) has a first end connected to a port (451c) of said active device (101, 151, q1) different from the at least one port (451b, 451e) to which the feedback network (110, 160, 460) is connected, the opposite end of said non-linear transmission line (102, 152, 452) being the output of the oscillator, the oscillator being configured to propagate to along said non-linear transmission line (102, 152, 452) a pulsed waveform.
