Abstract
A general analysis of non-linear wave propagation along transmission lines with voltage-dependent capacitance is presented. In particular, slow-wave structures like MIS and Schottky-barrier strip lines are examined. A spatial periodicity is included explicitly. The theoretical treatment is based on suitable equivalent circuits leading to characteristic wave equations. With regard to practical devices, the solutions show a variety of different phenomena as determined by the parameters of the non-linearity, dispersion and dissipation and the boundary conditions. Experimental results performed on a slow-wave model line are included.Keywords
