MTL—A Multi-Wire Transmission Line Modeling Toolbox

Multi-Parametric Toolbox (MPT)

Behavioral Modeling of Transmission Line Channels via Linear Transformations

An approach based on the linear transformation of network port variables is augmented and applied to behavioral modeling of inhomogeneous transmission line channels with lumped and distributed discontinuities. Generic tools Spice-like and Simulink can be used for channel simulation in the frequency or time domain. Introduction Recent developments in very high bit rate wireline data transmission...

Towards Efficient Distributed Simulation in Modelica using Transmission Line Modeling

The current development towards multiple processor cores in personal computers is making distribution and parallelization of simulation software increasingly important. The possible speedups from parallelism are however often limited with the current centralized solver algorithms, which are commonly used in today’s simulation environments. An alternative method investigated in this work utilize...

Lossy Transmission Line Modeling and Simulation Using Special Functions

A new algorithm for modeling and simulation of lossy interconnect structures modeled by transmission lines with Frequency Independent Line Parameters (FILP) or Frequency Dependent Line Parameters (FDLP) is developed in this research. Since frequency-dependent RLGC parameters must be employed to correctly model skin effects and dielectric losses for high-performance interconnects, we first study...

Comparison of Transmission Line Methods for Surface Acoustic Wave Modeling

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology is low cost, rugged, lightweight, extremely low power and can be used to develop passive wireless sensors. For these reasons, NASA is investigating the use of SAW technology for Integrated Vehicle Health Monitoring (IVHM) of aerospace structures. To facilitate rapid prototyping of passive SAW sensors for aerospace applications, SAW models have been develop...
