Modeling and Simulation of Branched Wiring NetworksAbstract
This paper presents a method to analyze the
reflectometry responses of a branched network of non-
ideal wires. A modified bounce diagram that uses a
transition matrix to keep track of signal flow is used.
This approach is further improved by including the
complex propagation constant to include the frequency
dependent filtering effect (phase delay and attenuation) of
the non-ideal transmission lines.
