Abstract

In this paper, we address the differential representation of the time-domain characteristics of lossy MTLs. This approach is of great interest for the efficient simulation of circuits with long interconnects and nonlinearities. The properties of this characterization method are discussed with particular emphasis on the bandwidth and on the order of the differential operators used. Our discussion is supported by a complete characterization example for a realistic wideband 3-conductor interconnect
