Fast and Slow Mode Solitons on a Coupled Transmission Line

抄録

By using a nonlinear coupled transmission line which consists of two LC ladder lines connected by intermediary capacitors, characteristic properties of fast and slow mode solitons and their collisions (both overtaking and head-on collisions) are examined experimentally. The observed results show a good agreement with those predicted by the second order Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) theory except for the phase shifts due to the collisions. A similarity of this line to a two-layer fluid in the long gravity wave region is also discussed.
