VOLTERRA SERIES USEFULNESS IN MODELLING OF THE TIME-DOMAIN CROSS-TALK PHENOMENA IN COUPLED MICROSTRIP LINES WITH NONLINEAR TERMINATION

摘要

The results of cross-talk modelling in system of edge coupled microstrip lines terminated with a nonlinear load are presented. An analytical approach, based on a mixed time/frequency-domain description, makes full use of the available dispersive model of coupled micros-trip lines. The worked-out algorithm utilizes a combination of Volterra and Taylor series in such way that only linear algebraic computations are involved in order to achieve a nonlinear load response. The accuracy of this method is verified by real circuit measurements. The simulation results are obtained from a specially designed software tool, Xtalk, that is based on the described technique.
