             abstract = "A nonlinear lumped element transmission line (NLETL) that 
                         comprises a LC-ladder network where either the capacitors or 
                         inductors are nonlinear can be used to convert an input 
                         rectangular pulse to a series of RF pulses at the output. This 
                         article describes the implementation and demonstration of a high 
                         voltage nonlinear hybrid line (NLHL) where both the line 
                         components (inductor and capacitors) are nonlinear. Lines with 
                         only one nonlinear component have numerous publications in 
                         simulation and experimentations whereas NLHL has only a few 
                         articles in simulation. There is no report about NLHL being tested 
                         to-date according to our knowledge. We have built and tested a 
                         NLHL using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Instead of 
                         using complex pulse forming networks or pulse forming lines, a 
                         storage capacitor and a fast semiconductor switch are used to 
                         provide an input pulse with good approximation of a rectangular 
                         pulse-shape. Experiment results are compared with simulations 
                         predicted by the in-house developed NLETL circuit model. Analyses 
                         on the voltage modulation and frequency content of the output 
                         pulses are carried out. The conditions for producing RF pulses in 
                         NLHL and its performance are discussed.",
