Multistability in nonlinear left-handed transmission lines
arXiv:0805.0043 · doi:10.1063/1.2955531
Abstract
Employing a nonlinear left-handed transmission line as a model system, we demonstrate experimentally the multi-stability phenomena predicted theoretically for microstructured left-handed metamaterials with a nonlinear response. We show that the bistability is associated with the period doubling which at higher power may result in chaotic dynamics of the transmission line.
