• Resumen

  • The electrical performance of high‐speed integrated circuits and digital networks strongly depends on the behavior of interconnects between various components of these systems. The prediction of such performance can only be achieved by the used of computer‐aided design and simulation tools. The simulation of high‐speed digital circuits has gained a significant role in the past few years since it is critical in the evaluation of noise levels, signal corruption and signal delay in fast switching circuits. This paper explores the various aspects and techniques for transmission line simulation; in particular, two different methods are described: the scattering parameter method and the optimal method.
