Abstract:
1. A circuit for generating electrical solitons, comprising: a first amplifier having a gain variable according to at least a magnitude of a voltage at an output of the first amplifier, the first amplifier comprising at least one oscillator junction field effect transistor (JFET) that includes a gate of a semiconductor material doped to a first conductivity type formed on a channel of semiconductor material doped to a second conductivity type, the gate of the at least one oscillator JFET being coupled to an input of the first amplifier by a coupling capacitance; a feedback non-linear transmission line (NLTL) coupled between the output and the input of the first amplifier; and a pulse generator having a gain variable according to at least a magnitude of the voltage at the output of the first amplifier.
