Abstract

A numerical technique to compute the time-domain response of multiconductor lossy uniform and nonuniform lines terminated in general nonlinear elements is presented. The technique is based on the method of characteristics and is used to study the propagation characteristics of multiple coupled uniform and nonuniform transmission line structures terminated in linear and nonlinear elements. This includes signal delay, distortion and crosstalk in interconnections in high-frequency analog and digital integrated circuits and chip modules
