Abstract: The present invention provides for a modular radio frequency communications assembly including a radio frequency hub and one or more radio frequency modules. Each radio frequency module includes a power and data interface for receiving power from and exchanging data with a modular radio frequency hub and a processor and memory for providing at least one of change a communications frequency, increase communications bandwidth, or add security using the one or more antennas and the power and data interface. The radio frequency hub includes two or more communications interfaces for connecting to two or more radio frequency modules, wherein each of the communications interfaces have the same physical and electrical configuration; A shared data and power interface for sharing data and power among the two or more radio frequency modules. A bus distributes data and power among the two or more radio frequency modules.

Abstract: A capacitor-type pulse discharge apparatus for generating an electric current pulse through an electrical load, comprises an electrical power source and at least one pulse discharge switch module. The pulse discharge switch module includes a capacitor for storing an electrical energy, a semiconductor high-power switch and a semiconductor low-power switch connected to the same terminal of the capacitor. The high-power switch has an input connected in series to the capacitor for allowing the stored electrical energy to be transferred from the capacitor to the load, and the low-power switch has an input connected in series to the capacitor for allowing charging supply from the electrical power source to charge the capacitor.
