Abstract
For the first time, we demonstrate the simulation of lossy and dispersive non linear transmission lines (NLTLs) used for pulse compression, by two different time-domain approaches: SPICE and a full wave 3D FDTD. Results show a good agreement between the two approaches. Output pulse risetime is very affected by DC and skin-effect losses.
