(54) | A device for generating and/or detecting electromagnetic fields |
(57) The device comprises a source (1) of electrically charged elementary particles, emitting
a beam (2) of particles which is split into two partial beams (4, 5) sent onto different
paths. A difference in velocity and hence in wavelength is generated between the two
partial beams. The two partial beams are recombined into a single beam (14) and their
beat is detected as an electrical signal. The velocity difference can be generated
by a voltage generator (6b) or by the output voltage of an antenna. |
