Bright and Dark Soliton Generation in a Left-Handed Nonlinear Transmission Line with Series Nonlinear Capacitors
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 96, 237-249, 2009
Abstract
In this article, we demonstrate that in the case of a positive group velocity left-handed nonlinear (LH-NL) transmission line with series nonlinear capacitances, the spatial derivative of the voltage distribution satisfies the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Consequently, it will shown that a LH-NL transmission line with series varactors can be used to generate both bright and dark solitons similar to a composite right-left-handed (CRLH) transmission line periodically loaded with shunt varactors. The paper also discusses the conditions for generation of bright and dark solitons.
