On-chip transmission line modelling and design become increasingly important as frequencies are continuously going up. This paper explores possibilities to implement transmission lines on CMOS ICs via coupled coplanar strips. EM-field simulations with SONNET are used to estimate important transmission line properties like characteristic impedance, propagation velocity and loss in a 0.18 micron ...

This paper presents a hybrid numerical method for the electromagnetic field coupling into apertures residing on the surface of rectangular cavities. The cavity may enclose wires and cables that are typically modeled via transmission line approaches. Coupling into the cavity is analyzed via the moment method along with the cavity Green’s function to find the aperture fields whereas Pocklington’s...

This paper presents a method for characterizing coplanar waveguide-to-microstrip (CPW-M) transitions by using on-wafer coplanar (CPW) microprobes. It is based on extracting the transmission matrix of the CPW-M transition from the measurement of the S parameters of two microstrip transmission lines of different lengths, each of which includes two CPW-M transitions. To verify the proposed method,...

This paper presents a novel method for locating faults using setting point voltage and current data. The line model used is based on the frequency dependent parameter model and it is distributed in to two parts: Distributed Parameter model and Compensation matrix. Finite Impulse Response filters are used to fit the Compensation matrix. So by using local Sampling data, voltage and current at the...

The detection of reeection{ and crosstalk{eeects during the design of complex printed circuit boards is very time consuming if it is based on an accurate simulation of the voltages at the inputs and outputs of all transmission lines. A division of the complete analysis process into a fast and approximative preanalysis and the following accurate simulation of those nets, which have been classiie...
