摘要
The characteristics of nonlinear left-handed (NL-LH) transmission lines (TLs) are discussed for the first time. A LH-TL with varactor-diode series capacitance is analyzed in terms of dispersion and nonlinearity characteristics, and its voltage-wave partial differential equation is derived. Numerical responses of the NL-LH-TL to harmonic and pulse waves illustrate the conjoint effects of frequency dispersion and nonlinearity. Potential applications are suggested.
