Implementation of a multiconductor transmission line model in a general-purpose circuit simulator

Abstract

The wave separation model, a lossless multiconductor transmission line model, is presented and is shown to be an accurate, efficient model for analysis of high-frequency inter-chip electrical interconnects. The details of implementation as well as a description of the algorithm are discussed. The wave separation model is compared to the distributed-lumped model, and results from a number of simulation cases are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
