A numerical technique to compute the time domain response of multiconductor lossy
uniform and nonuniform lines terminated in general nonlinear elements is presented. The
technique is based on the generalized method of characteristics. The method transforms the
original system of transmission line equations into a system of ordinary differential
equations....
A numerical method based on the the method of characteristics for hyperbolic systems
of partial differential equations in four independent variables is developed and used
for solving time domain Maxwell's equations. The method uses the characteristic
hypersurfaces and the characteristic conditions to derive a set of independent equations
relating the...
