Abstract :
The authors provide a clarification of a decoupling method employed in the analysis of multiconductor transmission lines. They show that the use of a similarity transformation yields more efficient and stable numerical algorithms for computation of eigenvalues and characteristic impedance/admittance matrices of the telegrapher´s equations than those based on a congruence transformation. The algorithms are easy to implement in existing software and, thus, their utilization is recommended
