Analytical solitons in nonlinear transmission lines loaded with heterostructure barrier varactors
نویسنده
چکیده
The propagation of solitons in transmission lines periodically loaded with nonlinear capacitors is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the dependence of soliton amplitude on propagating velocity can be computed with a simple equation, valid for any arbitrary nonlinear capacitance. By means of an approximation to the nonlinear reactance, an analytical expression that completely describes soliton profiles is presented. This can be applied to obtain moderate to high-amplitude soliton wave forms in nonlinear transmission lines ~NLTLs! loaded with heterostrucure barrier varactors, where standard approaches do not hold. This model can be of help in understanding harmonic generation in the terahertz range using monolithic NLTLs as frequency multipliers. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1388863#

Development of solitons in composite right- and left-handed transmission lines periodically loaded with Schottky varactors
The characteristics of composite rightand left-handed CRLH transmission lines periodically loaded with Schottky varactors are discussed in relation to the development of solitons. CRLH lines are highly dispersive and thus, when appropriately designed, compensate the effect of nonlinearity introduced by the Schottky varactors to support solitons. The reductive perturbation method applied to the ...
متن کاملAmplification of short pulses in transmission lines periodically loaded with Schottky varactors
Pulse progagation on nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs), which are transmission lines with regularly spaced Schottky varactors, is investigated for the amplification of short pulses. It is found that the soliton developed in an NLTL experiences an exponential amplitude growth, when it couples with a co-existing voltage edge.

We investigate numerically the collision of nonlinear envelope pulses in composite rightand left-handed transmission lines with regularly spaced Schottky varactors. Because of the nonlinearity caused by the Schottky varactors, the dispersive distortion of envelope pulses is well compensated. We find that when two nonlinear envelope pulses traveling in the opposite directions collide, two envelo...

In this article, we demonstrate that in the case of a positive group velocity left-handed nonlinear (LH-NL) transmission line with series nonlinear capacitances, the spatial derivative of the voltage distribution satisfies the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Consequently, it will shown that a LH-NL transmission line with series varactors can be used to generate both bright and dark solito...

We investigate experimentally the collisions of nonlinear envelope pulses in a left-handed transmission line with regularly spaced Schottky varactors. By measuring the test line, we successfully observed that when two nonlinear envelope pulses traveling in opposite directions collide, two new envelope pulses are developed. These new pulses satisfy the phase-matching condition, and their carrier...
