Abstract :
Novel compact expressions that describe the transient response of high-speed resistance, inductance, and capacitance (RLC) coupled transmission lines are rigorously derived for the first time. These new distributed RLC models reveal that peak crosstalk voltage is over 60% larger for 3 GHz and 10 GHz wiring levels than with traditional distributed RC models.
