Abstract :
A method of analyzing traveling-wave structures based on a coupled-line physical model and a commercial frequency-domain microwave-circuit-modeling program is described. This approach provides significant insight into the sources of pulse distortion observed in real structures. The model is compared to a real structure to benchmark the model´s various components
