Abstract :
A new method of moment based formulation for the solution of the telegraphist´s equations in non-uniform transmission lines is presented. Entire domain basis functions that build in a frequency variation are used to cover wider frequency and physical dimension ranges. The results obtained using the proposed formulation are validated by comparison to those obtained by a CAD package and to measured data.<>
