Abstract
In this article we describe how nonlinear electrical transmission lines can be used to produce bursts of very short-time voltage pulses (solitons). The relevant parameters and relations for designing suitable transmission lines are given. The number of solitons and their amplitudes are given in a diagram as functions of the (normalized) amplitude and the width of the rectangular input pulse. Several examples of constructed transmission lines (including some very fast structures) are described and solitons produced by them are shown.Keywords
