Solitary-Wave Dynamics in an $R^2$Lc Nonlinear Transmission Line with Voltage Bias

Highlights* A nonlinear transmission line with a Schottky varactor and two resistive elements, connected to a voltage terminal, is studied.* Solitary-wave ignals are shown to propagate with amplitudes that are either exponentially increased of decreased with time, depending on a specific relationship between the resistances and the voltage bias.* Numerical simulations reveal a decay of single solitary waves into solitary wave-train structures, due to the competition between the resistances and the voltage terminal.* Results of the present study extend a previous one in which the voltage terminal was shown to drive the soliton amplitude to infinity, after some finite propagation time
