摘要
This paper introduces nonlinear transmission lines based on left-handed (LH) media and simulates harmonic generation and parametric, generation in a material that, in two dimensions, could also focus microwaves. This paper discusses physical phenomena that. lead to and affect self-supporting harmonic generation and parametric generation in LH nonlinear transmission-line media and outline advantages of these media for developing new types of compact and efficient frequency multipliers and "active lens" devices.
