Notice of Retraction: Resistive Coupling at Termination Networks of Lossy and Externally Excited MTL: An FDTD Formulation

Abstract

The present work develops a unitary finite difference time domain (FDTD) formulation to take into account the unavoidable coupling, of resistive nature, among the N ports of a general termination network at the ends of lossy and externally excited multiconductor transmission lines. It completes the contribution of a previous paper where a FDTD scheme has been developed for the same coupling but for lossless and only internally excited lines. The developed vector time-domain equations are validated comparing their results with those obtained by a commercial circuit solver tool.
