title: Asymmetric energy flux in a transmission line based on frequency multiplication.
abstract: We experimentally investigate the energy flux in a nonlinear electrical transmission line formed by two segments which are identical in structure but have different parameters. By consideration of the driving voltage at a frequency within the passband of one segment, the phenomenon of asymmetric energy flux caused by linear waves has been observed. The experiment shows that the possibility of creation of an asymmetric energy flux mainly depends on the nonlinear and lattice effects; namely, the asymmetric energy flux here is carried by a linear wave in the passband, instead of by a nonlinear wave out of the band. To further understand this phenomenon in the transmission line, we study both experimentally and numerically the dependency of the asymmetric energy flux on the parameters, and the key factors which affect the efficiency of the asymmetric energy flux are obtained.
