             abstract = "Nonlinear dielectric lines have been tested for use in RF 
                         generation. Although they have presented a reasonable success in 
                         the frequency range between 250 and 400 MHz, their main limitation 
                         is the dielectric losses of barium titanate (BT) tiles used as 
                         nonlinear medium in these lines, which prevents from achieving 
                         higher frequencies. The solution for this appears to be the search 
                         for a new dielectric. Herein, we are proposing the use of a 
                         piezoelectric titanate-based ceramics known as PZT (lead zirconate 
                         titanate), which appears to have lower dielectric losses than BT 
                         slabs. In this paper, loss characterization tests of the PZT 
                         ceramics are compared with BT in the MHz frequency range. Also, we 
                         have investigated and compared the nonlinearity properties of the 
                         dielectrics by varying the DC applied voltage and temperature.",
