Calculation of ramp response of lossy transmission lines using two-port network functions

In this paper, we present a new analytical approach for computing the ramp response of an RLC interconnect line with a pure capacitive load. The approach is based on the two-port representation of the transmission line and accounts for the output resistance of the driver and the line inductance. The results of our analysis are compared with the results of HSPICE simulations demonstrating the high accuracy of our solution under various values of driver, interconnect, and load impedances.
