This is outlined pretty well in the avanti hspice manual within the Using Transmission Lines chapter (chapter 19 I believe). You can recreate the structure and use the internal field solver to create what you need. I have included two pretty well commented models that you can use as a refer ence along with this chapter to get you moving. One is a single ended line and one is a coupled model. The later can be used as a diff pair or to show the effects of coupling between two single ended connectors. Best of Luck and happy HSpicing. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any other questions. best regards, Michael Greim -----Original Message----- From: richard hill [mailto:richard2636@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2001 8:52 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] W Model for transmission lines Hi, I am new to the use of transmission line models in HSPICE. I would like to create a W Model of a transmission line. I am wondering how to derive the RLGC parameters to incorporate it in my models. I am struggling with this since it is not easy as the U model where you just enter the trace geometry. If I know the trace geometry is there an easy way to get the parameters. Thanks. _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
