Usual axial cables and aerial lines are distributed constant linear transmission line. They can transmit a pulse without changing its initial shape. On the other hand, a nonlinear transmission line consisting of nonlinear capacitors can sharpen the front of propagating pulse. In this study, we have constructed the transmission line with commercially available ferroelectric BaTiO3 ceramic capacitors to obtain high-voltage pulses with short rise-time. Strong dependence of their capacitance on the applied voltage has been found. The rise-time of the input pulse with 300V in amplitude was made shorten from 60ns after propagating through the line.
