Title: Shaping of current pulses by a transmission line

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5508418

We examine here how group velocity dispersion, and also how nonlinearity of a transmission line, can be exploited to achieve pulse compression and wave front steepening, producing a rapidly rising current. A possible design for a nonlinear line is presented.
