Abstract

In this paper, a new linear-time technique is described for the simulation of lossy lines with frequency-independent R, L, C and G. Exact analytic forms are shown to exist for the frequency-independent lossy line, with application in both the new technique and the conventional convolution method. Numerical convolution formulae that exploit the analytic forms are presented. Experimental results for industrial circuits indicate that the new technique can be 10 and 50 times faster than the convolution and lumped-RLC methods, respectively, for long simulations
