A lossy model for microstrip lines has been implemented in the SPICE simulator to in¨estigate the effect of rise time of an input signal upon the output wa¨eforms. The le¨el of ringing and pulse deformation are found to be related to the fast rise time gi¨en the circuit layout and parameters. The limits to the speed and pulse width of an input signal ha¨e been predicted for appropriate logic functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
