Abstract

This paper describes a simple method to predict the transient response of variable impedance stripline to pulse excitation. The technique uses a finite‐difference‐based quasi‐static impedance formulation to calculate the reflection coefficient at each point along the direction of pulse propagation. Excellent correlation between predictions and results obtained via time‐domain reflectometry was noted.
