Abstract
A non-linear transmission line has high temperature superconductive elements periodically loaded thereon. The elements have non-linear characteristics that provide voltage dependent non-linearity to the transmission line. The line can have a circuit with a first layer and a second layer with the second layer having several interdigital circuits printed thereon. The line can also have a meandering configuration or a spiral configuration.

A non-linear transmission line comprising a main transmission line extending between an input and an output, said main transmission line having high temperature superconductive elements periodically loaded thereon, said elements having non-linear characteristics and being equidistant from one another along said main transmission line.
A method of constructing a superconductive non-linear transmission line comprising a main transmission line extending between an input and output, said method comprising periodically loading high temperature superconductive elements having non-linear characteristics on said main transmission line so that said elements are equidistant from one another.
