modeling and simulation of communication circuits at high frequency are important challenges ahead in the design and construction of these circuits. knowing the fact that the lumped element model is not valid at high frequency, distributed analysis is presented based on active and passive transmission lines theory. in this paper, a lossy transmission line model of traveling wave switch (twsw) i...

This paper discusses a method for extracting the frequency dependent parameters of lossy bransmission lines from TDtUTDT measurements. These parameters were extracted for stripline structures in printed wiring boards. Using short -thru calibration, the transmission line parameters were extracted using a combination of time windowing and rational functions.

Modifications to the transmission line model developed at the High Voltage Research Institute, Tomsk, USSR, are presented and compared between each other and with the modification proposed by the ItalianSwiss research team. The modifications considered differ from each other by the height dependent attenuation factor for the return stroke current pulse intensity. All of the attenuation factors,...

Mitigating switching overvoltages (SOVs) and conducting well-suited insulation coordination for handling stresses are very important in UHV transmission Lines. The best strategy in the absence of arresters is controlled switching (CS). Although elaborate works on electromagnetic transients are considered in the process of designing transmission systems, such works are not prevalent in day-to-da...

The paper deals with a technique of sensitivity calculation in linear hybrid networks containing elements with both lumped and distributed parameters when the multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) are considered as the distributed parts. The technique utilizes the modified nodal analysis (MNA) method to do overall description of the network enabling determining sensitivities with respect to b...

The low-frequency methods used by most utilities nowadays for measuring the resistance of transmission line ground electrodes are inaccurate or cannot be applied when overhead groundwires are connected to the towers. Moreover, many of them are costly and time consuming. This paper proposes and compares two new methods for evaluating the transient impedance of transmission line towers. Both meth...

Metamaterials are an active area of interest currently due to their exotic electromagnetic properties not readily found in nature. In this report, the transmission line approach is used to design a Complementary Right Left Handed (CRLH) Transmisssion line. The characteristics of a modulated pulse propagation are studied. We look at how the variation of pulse width, centre frequency and pulse re...

A design method for an L-band frequency quadrupler with composite right/left-handed transmission line is proposed. The left-handed transmission line in the proposed frequency quadrupler suppresses the fundamental component ( f0), while the composite right/left-handed l/4 open stub reduces unwanted higher-order harmonics. From the experimental results, unwanted harmonics are suppressed to achiev...

This paper develops a new PLC model and investigates the impact of the load, line length, and diameter of the transmission line on the channel transfer function over the frequency range of 120 MHz. The results show that with 42 degrees of freedom, the proposed model leads to an average RMSE value of approximately 5.2 dB. With the same conditions, the Phillips model leads to an average RMSE valu...
