Description:
This book details the physics, implementation, and dynamics of the electrical soliton, a unique nonlinear wave with a range of applications in high-speed electronics. Presenting fundamental physical concepts in a way that the average engineer will clearly understand, the authors explore the relationship between solitons and the nonlinear transmission line, the medium in which electrical solitons are formed. They explain the unique dynamics of electrical solitons, including the many practical realities of solitons in lossy, non-ideal media, and they provide an appendix containing the mathematical background used to describe these phenomena.
