Simulation of Eye-Diagrams on Lossy Transmission Lines using Extracted Data from 1-port TDR Measurements

Abstract

The propagation constant and characteristic impedance of transmission lines were measured from 1port TDR measurements. Using the extracted data, eyediagrams of lossy transmission lines were simulated based on a non-physical RLGC model. Conventional W element simulation for the lossy transmission lines were performed in Hspice for comparison with the non-physical RLGC model. The eye-diagram of the non-physical RLGC model showed more loss, as is expected in lossy transmission lines.
