The RLGC model, and its variations, is one of the most common techniques to simulate transmission lines. The RLGC model uses circuit network elements consisting of Resistance R, Inductance L, Conductance G and Capacitance C (per unit length) to represent a small segment of the transmission line, and then cascades multiple segments to simulate the transmission line of arbitrary length. Typically, the parameters in RLGC model are extracted from the propagation constant and characteristic impedance of the transmission line which are found using numerical simulation methods. These resulting RLGC parameters for multi-GHz signaling are usually frequency-dependent. This paper introduces an analytical approach to extract RLGC parameters to simulate a transmission line, which results in a different model, the RLGC(p) model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
