摘要
Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) are passive networks with the capability of modulating baseband pulses. These networks are used for generating RF pulses at high-power levels. NLTLs have a unique performance in high-power RF pulse generation among all the generators based on the solid-state technology. A high-power rectangular pulse is injected to the line, gradually evolved into an oscillatory pulse while propagating through the network, and finally, in the form of a high-power RF pulse, is delivered to the load. Properly terminating an NLTL, in order to transfer the maximum available RF power to the load, is an important problem. In this paper, an accurate analysis is presented, which gives a closed-form formula for the output RF power in lossy NLTLs. Using this analysis, optimal resistive terminating load for RF applications of NLTLs is extracted. The output central frequency is also investigated in this paper. All the obtained theoretical results are verified by SPICE simulations and measurements in two implemented NLTLs.
