Shock electromagnetic wave of large amplitude in the nonlinear transmission line based on distributed semiconductor diode

An analytical solution to the problem of formation and propagation of large amplitude shock electromagnetic waves in strip transmission line (TL) based on the distributed semiconductor diode was obtained. This solution correctly takes into account non-linearity, time dispersion and dissipation of TL. The results of the theory has been used to estimate the parameters of TL as peaker of the high voltage pulse applied to transmission line input.
