1. A method for transmitting a waveform having an essentially constant propagation velocity along a transmission line, comprising:

  • generating an exponential waveform, the exponential waveform (a) being characterized by the equation Vin=Deα

    t
    +A+f(t), where Vin is a voltage, t is time, D and A are constants, α

    is an exponential coefficient, and f(t) is a function of time and (b) being truncated at a maximum value; and

    applying the waveform to the transmission line to transmit the waveform at an essentially constant propagation velocity, the propagation velocity being related to α and

    a transmission parameter of the transmission line.
