Signal reshaping in a transmission line with negative group velocity behavior

An analytical, numerical, and experimental study of the dispersion of a transmission line with negative group velocity is presented. The propagation of amplitude-modulated signals in the transmission line anomalous dispersion region is specifically analyzed, investigating the effects on the pulse reshaping of the system losses. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
