             abstract = "A nonlinear lumped element transmission line (NLETL) that consists 
                         of a series cascading network of linear inductors and parallel 
                         nonlinear capacitors can be used to produce oscillating pulses. 
                         This paper describes the implementation of such high voltage 
                         nonlinear capacitive lines (NLCL) 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 onto the 
                         cascading LC-elements of the NLCL with good approximation for a 
                         rectangular pulse-shape. The design of the NLCL is based on the 
                         NLETL circuit model that has been developed in-house. Experimental 
                         results are compared with simulations predicted by the NLETL 
                         model. The voltage modulation and the frequency content of the 
                         output pulses are analyzed. The conventional single NLCL produces 
                         a signal with a DC offset and a decoupling capacitor is needed at 
                         the end of the line to extract the AC component before injecting 
                         into a load such as an antenna. A novel method of directly 
                         extracting the AC component without the use of a decoupling 
                         capacitor is proposed and investigated. Results of this direct AC 
                         extraction, which show the possibility of better performance, are 
                         discussed.",
