Abstract
The number of power amplifiers required to amplify a plurality of transmission signals is reduced by using non-linear transmission lines (NTL) circuits. In general, a 'combining' NTL circuit is used to combine the plurality of transmission signals to form a soliton pulse. The soliton pulse is then amplified such that each of its component transmission signals are amplified. A 'dividing' NTL circuit is then used to divide the amplified soliton pulse into its component amplified transmission signals. The amplified transmission signals can therefore be transmitted over a communications channel without requiring a separate power amplifier for each.
