Erratum: An omnipotent Smith chart for lossy nonreciprocal transmission lines

An Interactive Smith Chart

Smith is an instructional, interactive, menu driven program that offers the use of Smith Chart on a personal computer. Using the Smith Chart is greatly simplified by providing the user with a “tracking mode” in which the cursor is tracked, showing the normalized resistance and reactance as well as distances from source and load. Also, construction lines such as radius, diameter and circles can ...

Microwave Power Absorption in Low-Reflectance, Complex, Lossy Transmission Lines

Simple sets of equations have been derived to describe the absorption of microwave power in three-region, lossy transmission lines in terms of S-parameter reflection and transmission amplitudes. Each region was assumed to be homogeneous with discontinuities at the region boundaries. Different sets of equations were derived to describe different assumptions about the amplitudes of the reflection...

A Generalized Lossy Transmission-Line Model for Tunable Graphene-Based Transmission Lines with Attenuation Phenomenon

To investigate the frequency shift phenomenon by inserting graphene, a generalized lossy transmission-line model and the related electrical parameter-extraction theory are proposed in this paper. Three kinds of graphene-based transmission lines with attenuation phenomenon including microstrip line, double-side parallel strip line, and uniplanar coplanar waveguide are analyzed under the common c...

Transient Analysis of Lossy Transmission Lines: an Effective Approach Based on the Method of Characteristics

This paper is devoted to transient analysis of lossy transmission lines characterized by frequencydependent parameters. A public dataset of parameters for three line examples (a module, a board, and a cable) is used, and a new example of on-chip interconnect is introduced. This dataset provides a well established and realistic benchmark for accuracy and timing analysis of interconnect analysis ...
