Abstract
A tunnel diode non-linear transmission line has been investigated for second and third harmonic generation purposes. Design criteria are giv en and performance predictions have been obtained simulating the singl e diode behavior by means of a polynomial expression, An optimization of the non-linear transmission line as a harmonic generator has been o btained as a function of the number of diodes, their separation distan ces and the bias voltage.
