Comparison of distributed and lumped element models for analysis of filtering properties of nonlinear transmission lines
The filtering properties of periodic loaded lossy transmission lines are studied from the point of view of microwave network theory. Under the condition that the per-section capacitance of the line is small compared to that of the loading capacitors, it is shown that the distributed circuit can be described accurately by means of a lumped element ladder network. The effects of transmission line losses on this approximation are also analyzed. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
