Nonlinear Slow-Wave Propagation On Periodic Schottky Coplanar Lines

Abstract

Nonlinear wave propagation along periodic Schottky slow-wave structures with voltage dependent capacitance is analytically described by simple wave equations. As an examplary result of the theory, a special structure is proposed which can be used for traveling-wave second harmonic generation or parametric amplification with high efficiency. This is experimentally verified on a model line.
