Abstract
We point out that the creation of a soliton pulse train in a nonlinear‐dispersive system can be used for the generation of high‐power microwave bursts. A modulated transmission line with an appropriate nonlinear dielectric is proposed. The nonlinear wave evolution is analyzed and requirements for the dielectric material are found. Problems associated with the material are discussed. Low‐power experimental demonstrations of these concepts are presented.
