  • Abstract
    For the first time, a simulation has been carried out of lossy and dispersive nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) used for pulse compression, by two different time-domain approaches: SPICE and a full wave 3D finite difference time domain method. Results show good agreement between the two approaches. The output pulse risetime is strongly affected by DC and skin-effect losses
