The theory of passive intermodulation generation on
printed transmission lines has been proposed. The new model for
a terminated section of the transmission line with distributed
nonlinear resistance has been developed and verified against the
published experimental data. The closed form relation between
the macroscopic nonlinear resistance and microscopic nonlinear
surface resistivity of strip conductors has been obtained for
microstrip lines. Effects of microstrip line width, length and
matching on passive intermodulation generation have been
studied in detail.
