We show that an aperiodically time-modulated reactive element can emulate the non-Foster response required to match a prescribed pulse, achieving reflectionless, nearly distortionless energy transfer beyond the Bode-Fano limit. The approach introduces a new constraint: a minimum dc bias that scales with pulse bandwidth, derived from the requirement that the modulated capacitance remain positive at all times. This modulation-bias bound replaces the classical bandwidth-reflection trade-off with a bandwidth-energy trade-off. A realistic circuit simulation confirms broadband matching with preserved waveform fidelity, demonstrating that the scheme is physically realizable and not merely a mathematical circumvention.
