Abstract.
In this paper we analyze the periodic solutions of the differential-difference equation describing a linear transmission line with nonlinear termination. When the period is multiple of the delay the periodic solutions of the differential-difference equation solve a finite set of ordinary differential equations in cyclic form. The Hopf-bifurcation in such a set is studied, and some properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions are pointed out.
