Modeling and Simulation of Highly Inductive On-Chip Interconnects

In the paper we present our approach to estimation of the transmission line step response. The main idea of the presented approach is to approximate the output signal of the lossy line, by analysis the behavior of the lossless transmission line. The output signal is expanded in the series of traveling waves. We construct the conditions when the first incident wave of lossless line is good approximation of the step response of the line
