Usual axial cables and aerial lines are distributed constant linear transmission lines which can transmit a pulse without changing its initial shape. On the other hand, a nonlinear transmission line consisting of nonlinear capacitors can sharpen the front of a propagating pulse. In this study, a transmission line with commercially available ferroelectric BaTiO 3 ceramic capacitors is constructed to obtain high‐voltage pulses with short rise‐time. Strong dependence of their capacitance on the applied voltage has been found. The rise‐time of the input pulse with 300 V in amplitude was shortened from 60 ns after propagating through the line.
