Abstract
LET E and v be the energy and velocity of a pulse in a ‘parametric line’1, denoting the input and output ends by the subscripts 1 and 2 respectively. It has been shown1 that the pulse energy amplification factor has the form : If this factor does not differ very much from unity, it can be written in the form : where L is the length of the line, T is the time necessary for traversing the line and ½(v 1 + v 2) is the average speed of the pulse along it.

Wilson, H. A., Modern Physics, 6, 332 (Blackie and Sons). Equation (3) may be derived by considering a small distance dr in which the field is considered uniform and by substituting ordinary units for the special units used, dt′/dt is taken to be equal to v2/v1 = ɛ2/ɛ1.
