13.8.2 Lossy Transmission Line Model Parameters and

Defaults

Note A lossy transmission line with zero loss can be used to model the lossless transmission

line, and may be more accurate.

13.9 Lossless Line Type 1

This component is a 2-port network that represents a medium, such as a wire or an

interconnect, through which electrical signals pass.

The lossless model is an ideal one that simulates only the characteristic impedance and

propagation delay properties of the transmission line. The characteristic impedance is

resistive and is equal to the square-root of L/C.

Note A lossy transmission line with zero loss can be used to model the lossless transmission

line, and may be more accurate.
