The Steady-State Analysis of Networks Containing Uniform or Nonuniform Distributed RC Structures

A number of lumped models which have been used to simulate distributed RC networks have certain limitations. To overcome these limitations an exact model for inclusion into a nodal analysis program is proposed. The accuracy of this model is demonstrated and the incorporation of frequency-dependent dielectric loss into the model is discussed. The principal use of the model, in the simulation of trimmed distributed networks in active filters, is described, and some representative parameters are given.
