                         transmission lines (NLTLs) in radar communication systems, 
                         electronic attack systems, telecommunications, and electromedical 
                         equipment has motivated studies of their performance due to the 
                         simple construction and use of low-cost commercial components. 
                         Low-voltage capacitive NLTLs consist of a nonlinear and dispersive 
                         propagation medium. The practical implementation of these lines 
                         employs radio frequency (RF) generation using commercial 
                         electronic components such as inductors and reverse-biased 
                         varactor diodes as nonlinear elements. This article presents the 
                         experimental results of capacitive NLTLs from 240 MHz to 1 GHz, 
                         showing the behavior of oscillations produced in the time and 
                         frequency domains fast Fourier transform (FFT). In the time 
                         domain, the oscillations showed a damping behavior that arises 
                         from the nonlinear behavior of the varactor diodes in response to 
                         a rectangular input pulse. Furthermore, the analysis of damping 
                         oscillations in the frequency domain demonstrated a 
                         spread-spectrum signal that negatively affects the objective of 
                         using NLTLs as generators of pulsed RF signals, for which a high 
                         spectral purity is required. Finally, we give a summary of the 
                         research performance with the practical constraints of these 
                         lines.",
