Abstract :
A time-domain macromodel for incident field coupling to multiconductor transmission lines with frequency-dependent losses is presented. The model, which is based on the closed-form matrix-rational approximation of the exponential matrix describing telegrapher´s equations, is in the form of ordinary differential equations and can be easily included in SPICE like simulators for transient analysis. The semi-analytic rational approximation of the forcing functions used in the generation of the model makes it CPU efficient
