             abstract = "A nonlinear lumped element transmission line (NLETL) that consists 
                         of an LC-ladder network can be used to convert a rectangular input 
                         pump pulse into a series of RF oscillations at the output. The 
                         discreteness of the LC sections in the network contributes to the 
                         line dispersion while the nonlinearity of the LC elements produces 
                         the nonlinear characteristics of the line. Both of these 
                         properties combine to produce wave trains of high frequency. This 
                         paper describes an NLETL circuit model that is used to simulate RF 
                         generation for a given input pump pulse and the experiments used 
                         to validate the simulated results. The circuit model is used to 
                         study a nonlinear capacitive line that comprises nonlinear C but 
                         linear L and a nonlinear inductive line that comprises nonlinear L 
                         but linear C. Extensive and comprehensive parametric studies were 
                         carried out for the various NLETLs to understand the behavior and 
                         characteristics of these lines. Interesting observations were 
                         made, and explanations were given for their occurrence. A hybrid 
                         line that comprises both nonlinear elements L and C was also 
                         investigated using the circuit model with the goal of better 
                         matching to a resistive load. Simulations of the hybrid line 
                         indicate promising results.",
