FORMATION OF NARROW PULSES IN A NONLINEAR LOSSY LC LADDER NETWORK

We have analyzed the propagation of soliton in a nonlinear lossy LC la dder network by using a novel method called the Fourier Series Analysi s Technique. Based on the measured C-V characteristic of the nonlinear capacitor used, we obtained a Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation with a loss term, Experimental work has been carried out to investigate the e ffect of applying a de bias voltage across the nonlinear capacitors on the pulsewidth and peak amplitude of the electrical pulse obtained al ong the network, A good agreement has been obtained between the theore tical and experimental results.
