Theory and Practice of Multidimensional Non-Linear Transmission Line

Multidimensional non-linear transmission lines (NLTLs) have been studied and explored due to their outstanding capability of pulse generation and compression. In this connection, various types of NLTLs are theoretically investigated and developed including non-linear electrical transmission lines (NLETLs), gyromagnetic NLTLs, dielectric NLTLs, and magnetic NLTL. This study is set to provide comprehensive theoretical foundations, design perspectives, and recent developments of NLTLs for shorter and faster pulse generation and compression. Among them, NLETLs are described in detail with advanced models with comparison to the current state-of-the-art versions. Finally, the past studies of popular NLTL topologies are summarized and also the ongoing technological trends and future development opportunities in the field are briefly described.
