A Comparative Study of Two Transient Analysis Algorithms for Lossy Transmission Lines with Frequency-Dependent Data

Two general algorithms for the modeling of lossy transmission lines with frequency-dependent parameters are contrasted and compared. The first is based on the generalized method of
characteristics while the second is based on the more recent Pad\'{e} macromodeling approach. The different approximations made in these two algorithms are contrasted and computational evidence is presented to show that these two methods complement rather than compete with each other.
