During the development of radio and vacuum tube technology, Li�nard equations were intensely studied as they can be used to model oscillating circuits.
2.
Pulse width is easily predicted and controlled with a separate oscillator drive, but difficult and probably impossible with simple self oscillating circuits unless the MOSFET gate ratings are exceeded.
3.
The electromagnetic theory can then be applied to develop a model of an oscillating circuit on a transmission line model that explains the transmission properties of these meshes quite well as long as the wavelength of light is larger than the size of the metallic element ( \ lambda > g ).
