| 1. A method for synthesizing a time domain waveform having a flat output spectrum in a selected frequency band, comprising:
forming a first pulse segment associated with the time domain waveform using a first non-linear transmission line (NLTL) pulse
generator;
forming a second pulse segment associated with the time domain waveform using a second NLTL pulse generator;
forming a third pulse segment associated with the time domain waveform using a third NLTL pulse generator; and
combining the first pulse segment, the second pulse segment and the third pulse segment to form the time domain waveform,
wherein the first pulse segment, the second pulse segment and the third pulse segment are formed by inputting a sinusoidal
waveform having a predetermined frequency associated with the selected frequency band, into the first pulse generator, the
second pulse generator and the third pulse generator respectively.
