Mirror-symmetric matrices have important applications in studying odd/even-mode decomposition of symmetric multiconductor transmission lines (MTL). In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm to solve the mirror-symmetric solution of matrix equation AXB + CY D = E. With it, the solvability of the equation over mirror-symmetric X, Y can be determined automatically. When the equation is cons...

The microstrip line is widely used as the planar transmission line in microwave integrated circuits and high speed interconnecting buses. In this paper, we use COMSOL multiphysics to study multiconductor microstrip systems on microwave integrated circuits. We specifically illustrate the modeling of open four and five conductors systems. We successfully demonstrated the calculation of the capaci...

The silicon substrate has a significant effect on the inductance parameter of a lossy interconnect line on integrated circuit. It is essential to take this into account in determining the transmission line electrical parameters. In this paper, a new quasi-TEM capacitance and inductance analysis of multiconductor multilayer interconnects is successfully demonstrated using finite element method (...

As the circuit density of pattern traces and the data rate on a printed circuit board (PCB) is increased, an unexpected electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as crosstalk can degrade the intended signal transmission. The crosstalk problems on multiconductor transmission lines (MTLs) which are parallel and have the same length have been researched by C. R. Paul[1]. In case of shifted parallel-...

This paper discusses an efficient numerical approximation technique, called the differential quadrature method (DQM), which has been adapted to model lossy uniform and nonuniform transmission lines. The DQM can quickly compute the derivative of a function at any point within its bounded domain by estimating a weighted linear sum of values of the function at a small set of points belonging to th...

A new algorithm to compute the transient response of a coupled, dispersive multiconductor system terminated in nonlinear loads is presented. The characterization of the multiconductor system is based on full-wave analysis using the spectral-domain approach, rather than the usual TEM approximation. To compute the transient response of such a system, a bilevel waveform relaxation method is used. ...
