Characterization of Resistive Transmission Lines by Short-Pulse Propagation
Abstract
A method for completely characterizing resistive transmission lines by short-pulse propagation is described. Using the loss and dispersion of pulses propagated on two different lengths of line, together with the measured low-frequency capacitance, the frequency-dependent propagation constant, attenuation, and the complex impedance are determined. The basic method is demonstrated with results from low-loss cables and a well-controlled coplanar waveguide sample. © 1992, IEEE. All rights reserved.
