Abstract

We report the experimental observation of the generation of continuous electrical waves in a switch line, which is a transmission line periodically loaded with electronic switches. The oscillating motions of a wave front have been experimentally demonstrated in a line with discrete Esaki diodes employed as switches, when a rising step-pulse signal was passed through the line.
