Abstract

The problem of the formation and propagation of a large-amplitude shock electromagnetic wave in a strip transmission line (TL) based on a distributed semiconductor diode is analytically solved. The solution correctly considers its nonlinearity, dissipation, and time dispersion. The results of the theory are used to estimate the parameters of the TL as a sharpener of the pulse front voltage applied to the line input.
