Abstract :
This paper discusses a method for extracting the frequency dependent parameters of lossy transmission lines from TDR/TDT measurements. These parameters were extracted for stripline structures in printed wiring boards. Using short-thru calibration, the transmission line parameters were extracted using a combination of time windowing and rational functions
