1. A phase coherent transmitter chain comprising;

  • a master oscillator;

    a harmonic generator coupled to said master oscillator for developing an output signal containing all of the spectral components of a predetermined pulse train;

    a power divider coupled to said harmonic generator for distributing said output signal;

    a plurality of final filter amplifiers coupled to said power divider that are responsive to said output signal developed by said harmonic generator, each of said plurality of final filter amplifiers adapted to amplify one spectral component of said predetermined pulse train, each of said plurality of final filter amplifiers comprising a voltage controlled oscillator, a phase lock amplifier and a mixer connected as a phase-locked VCO circuit;

    a plurality of duplexers each individually coupled to the output of a different one of said plurality of final filter amplifiers; and

    a broadband multiplexing feed coupled to said plurality of duplexers and having an aperture.
