“…Oscillators using a state-of-the-art RTD generate submillimeter and terahertz waves at room temperature [5]. Moreover, RTDs are employed on a TD line to generate a broadband voltage front up to millimeter wave frequencies [6][7][8]. In addition, several schemes * narahara@yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp using TD lines have been reported to date for generating short electrical pulses [9,10].…”

External synchronization of oscillating pulse edge on a transmission line with regularly spaced tunnel diodes

We investigate the external synchronization of the oscillating pulse edges developed in a transmission line periodically loaded with tunnel diodes (TDs), termed a TD line. It is observed that the pulse edge oscillates on a TD line when supplied by an appropriate voltage at the end of the line. We discuss how the pulse edge oscillates on a TD line and the properties of the external synchronization of the edge oscillation driven by a sinusoidal perturbation. By applying a phase-reduction scheme to the transmission equation of a TD line, we obtain the phase sensitivity, which satisfactory explains the measured spatial dependence of the locking range on the frequency. Moreover, we successfully detect the spatiotemporal behaviors of the edge oscillation by establishing synchronization with the sampling trigger of an oscilloscope.
