Erzeugung ultrakurzer elektrischer Impulse auf nichtlinearen Leitungsstrukturen - Generation of short electrical pulses on nonlinear transmission lines

by Huelsewede, Ralf

In this work the generation of shock-waves and short electrical pulses on nonlinear transmission lines (NLTL) showing transients down to 3.6 ps and amplitudes of 1V - are presented. Special emphasis is layed upon the development of monolithic integration of planar schottky-diodes and coplanar waveguide structures based on InP-semiconductor material. The methods of simulating nonliear propagation effects on NLTL, designing and technology of NLTL and at last the experimental investigations in order to measure the generatred transients both in the time domain and frequency domain are shown in detail.
