             abstract = "A chain of cascading LC sections consisting of series nonlinear 
                         inductors and parallel linear capacitors can be used to generate 
                         oscillating pulses. When a rectangular pulse is injected into the 
                         input of such a nonlinear inductive line (NLIL), the pulse 
                         undergoes modulation and exits at the output with oscillations in 
                         the waveform. This paper describes the implementation of 
                         high-voltage NLILs using commercial-off-the-shelf components. A 
                         pulser comprising of a storage capacitor and a fast semiconductor 
                         switch is used to provide the input pulse with approximate 
                         rectangular pulse shape. The design of the NLIL, which is a type 
                         of nonlinear lumped element transmission line (NLETL), is based on 
                         a NLETL circuit model developed earlier in-house. The nonlinear 
                         inductors made of ferrites are modeled using a simplified form of 
                         the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation. A simple novel 
                         approach is proposed to determine the characteristic parameters in 
                         the LLG equation. Simulation results from the NLETL model are 
                         compared to the experimental results, and analyses on the voltage 
                         modulation and frequency content of the output pulses are 
                         performed. The use of crosslink capacitors in the line to modify 
                         the dispersive characteristics to enhance the performance is also 
                         investigated. With the results, the conditions and trends for 
                         producing oscillating pulses in NLILs are discussed.",
