Method and device for producing radio frequency waves
First Claim
1. A method for the production of radio frequency waves, in which a pulse laser (10) is operated for the production of light pulses with a predetermined spectrum of frequency modes and a predetermined repetitive frequency, having a first detector (11) which captures light pulses of the pulse laser (10) and wherein corresponding electrical output signals are generated, which form the radio frequency waves, therein characterized, in that the pulse laser (10), stabilized with an optical reference signal, is operated in such a manner that the repetitive frequency of the light pulse is fixed.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing radio frequency waves, whereby a pulse laser for producing light pulses having a predetermined spectrum of frequency modes and a predetermined recurrence frequency is operated. The light pulses of the pulse laser are detected by means of a detector device, and corresponding electrical output signals forming the radio frequency signals are produced. Said pulse laser is actuated in a stabilized manner by means of an optical reference signal in such a way that the recurrence frequency of the light pulse is fixed. The invention also relates to a radio frequency generator for implementing said method.
