In a plasma compression fusion device, two electrical grids used to ionize the Deuterium gas (or other fusion fuel in gaseous form). The two grids are kept at different oppositely charged voltages so as to electrostatically accelerate either electrons or ions into the plasma core, depending on desired physical effect. Each of the grids are driven by an electrical signal—one positive and one negative. The two signals are controlled by a spread spectrum modulator that outputs the desired electrical signal, which is modulated by the spread spectrum modulator under the control of a pseudo random (PN) sequence. To achieve the desired electrical effect, the two signals must be matched exactly in phase and amplitude. One signal, e.g., the positive signal, is controlled by a PN sequence from outside the device, whereas the opposite signal is controlled by a PN sequence built into the device. If the two PN sequences are identical, then both of the desired electrical signals are created having the same amplitude and phase, in which case the fusion device will operate as designed. If the two sequences do not match, the two plates will not create the proper ionization of the Deuterium gas, rendering the device inoperable for its intended purpose. The enables control of the device from outside since the two PN sequences must match to operate.
