A Complete Multimode Equivalent-Circuit Theory for Electrical Design

Published

Author(s)

Dylan F. Williams, L. A. Hayden, Roger Marks

Abstract

This work presents a complete equivalent-circuit theory for lossy multimode transmission lines. Its voltages and currents are based on general linear combinations of standard normalized modal voltages and currents. The theory includes new expressions for transmission line impedance matrices, symmetry and lossless conditions, source representations, and the thermal noise of passive multiports.
