Bistable Transmission Lines

The paper introduces two types of active transmission lines having two stable states of equilibrium. In these, a transition from one state to the other is transmitted along the line and the transition waveforms are shaped during transmission. The properties of the lines have been investigated theoretically, using computers, and experimentally by using lumped constant elements and tunnel diodes.
