Equivalent circuit modelling of lossy coupled lines using SPICE software

A new skin effect equivalent circuit and a propagation line equivalent circuit for time domain simulation on a single line have been presented in previous work (T. Vu Dinh et al., 1990) SPICE simulations have proved the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. This concept is extended for coupled line modelling. A dual line device is analysed as a typical example of the usual cases. The method has successfully been extended to N lossy coupled lines. The results show a good agreement with those obtained by other methods.
