"As for pulsed tube operation, I have an idea or two about that. Ever
heard of a super-regenerative oscillator? Next time!"
Try a blocking oscillator and you hav it. Takes a relatively
large grid capacitor and resistor, plus very high voltage if you
want a lot of power. Early VHF radar sets such as the SCR-268 and
many others used this technique with great success, and I sure would
like to see someone try it for a TC! Takes a tube with really good
emission, which means lots of filament current for the typical
thoriated-tungsten filament.
