Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to present a method by which the CAD tool SPICE along with a circuit parameter calculating routine can be used to find both the frequency-domain and time-domain responses of a nonuniform multiconductor transmission line using ordinary circuit element models which already exist in SPICE. A lumped-element equivalent circuit model for a possibly nonuniform multiconductor transmission line is presented which can be easily used in SPICE to expand its validity. To verify this model, several examples with modeling and experimental results in both frequency and time domain are given and discussed. It is shown that the results obtained by this method are in good agreement with the experiment results
