Abstract
A direct method for extracting the time-domain generalised characteristic model for microstrip interconnects in high-speed circuits is presented. The method proposed uses discrete-time numerical convolution, deconvolution and self-convolution roots to calculate the characteristic impedance and the propagation function directly from the terminal responses obtained by the FDTD method. Simulated results demonstrate that it is 56.55% faster than the waveform relaxation extraction method.
