Abstract :
An algorithm is presented for the construction of a delay extraction-based macromodel for a single set of transmission lines from tabulated H, Y, S, or Z parameters. The algorithm determines a unique logarithm of the exponential stamp of the H parameters. The delay extraction-based passive compact transmission-line macromodeling (DEPACT) algorithm can then be used to construct a passive and causal macromodel for SPICE simulation.
