This patent describes a transmission line. It comprises: means for providing signal-dependent variable capacitance wherein the variable capacitance means is a semi-conductor-diode; at least two means for carrying electrical current; at least one means for introduction of input signals; and at least one means for extraction of output signals wherein the semiconductor-diode further comprises a long, narrow junction geometry and the at least two current-carrying means comprise the anode and cathode electrodes of the semiconductor-diode such that a transmission-line structure is formed comprising the current-carrying means and the semiconductor-diode, and the input means is connected between the least two current-carrying means comprise the anode and cathode electrodes of the semiconductor-diode such that a transmission-line structure is formed comprising the current-carrying means and the semi-conductor-diode, and the input means is connected between the least two current-carrying means.
