“…Because of its wide significance in a great variety of physical systems, the propagation of modulated waves has been the subject of considerable interest for many years, as, for example, in nonlinear optics [1][2][3][4][5]. On the other hand, discrete electrical transmission lines are very convenient tools to study the wave propagation in one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear dispersive media [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. They have been applied to the study of thin-film and diffusion resistors, capacitors, and conductors and to the evaluation of undesirable interaction between different components of integrated circuits; moreover, discrete electrical transmission lines can be successfully used to simulate the characteristics of some active microcircuit elements, in particular, the field-effect transistors [6,7].…”
