A Closed-Form Sensitivity Analysis of Transmission Lines
Keywords:
A Closed-Form Sensitivity Analysis of Transmission LinesAbstract
A new approach for frequency-domain sensitivity analysis of transmission lines is presented. The propagation problem for the voltage sensitivity is considered and solved in terms of the closed-form Green’s function of the 1-D wave propagation problem. This leads to a closed-form solution for the voltage sensitivity. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparison with the perturbation approach.
