1. An impedance network comprising:
a transmission line comprising a plurality of sections;
a plurality of clamping circuits, each of the plurality of clamping circuits configured to clamp at least one of voltage or current in at least one of the plurality of sections; and
a power sink coupled to at least one of the plurality of clamping circuits, wherein the power sink comprises a power source comprising a circulator.
