About attenuation of videopulse in nonlinear transmission lines with ideal dielectric

Abstract: The attenuation of the video pulse with monotonically increasing input voltage in a transmission lines with an ideal dielectric can be characterized by "ohmic" voltage drop $U_\sigma$ along the electrodes with finite conductivity. The exact analytical formulas for the calculations $U_\sigma$ in coaxial and strip lines with and without taking into account the strong skin effect have been obtained. These formulas do not depend on the dispersion and the degree of nonlinearity of the dielectric and therefore is suitable for evaluating of shock electromagnetic waves attenuation
