Abstract :
Computer simulations are performed to optimize the number of sections in a tapered NLTL generating a pulse signal. The Schottky diode model is used based on physical simulation using Silvaco. The extracted CV characteristics are fitted to a hyperbolic function. The effect of the input frequency on the output pulse is investigated
