ABSTRACT

Under the TEM wave approximation, the voltage and current of multi-conductor transmission lines satisfy the telegrapher’s equations.

1 INTRODUCTION

With the rapid increase of the signal frequency and the decrease of the size, the analysis and design of the interconnections become more important in the high-speed Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chip and the printed circuit boards. Improper design could result in signal delay, reflection, crosstalk and false switching,[1] etc., seriously the circuit cannot work. Therefore, the transmission line effects have become a bottleneck in the development of highspeed VLSI and it is necessary to find the key factors that influence transmission line effects and provide the basis for the design of VLSI.
