Abstract :
The authors present a new time-varying equivalent circuit model for transient analysis of uniform and nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines with arbitrary linear and nonlinear loads. Calculated or measured scattering parameter data are used to characterize the interconnection structures. Both sides of the transmission line structure are modeled as extended Thevenin equivalents, which consist of constant resistances and time-dependent voltage sources. This new circuit model is compatible with existing simulation programs
