Nonlinear properties of a strip transmission line based on carbon fiber

Abstract

A strip line made on the basis of carbon fibers is investigated. The line is included in the interruption of an asymmetric strip line, and is implemented as a tape made of carbon fibers on a dielectric substrate. Experimental frequency and pulse characteristics are obtained. Simulation of the line in a quasi-T approach is carried out. Primary line parameters are obtained using the extraction method by comparing experimental and theoretical frequency and pulse characteristics. The type of frequency dependence of the line resistance is established. Weakly manifested nonlinear properties under harmonic and pulse action are experimentally found.
