Time-domain analysis of lossy active transmission lines using FDTD method

In this paper, an accurate and efficient method for analysis of a GaAs MESFET including frequency-dependent losses of the electrodes in the time domain is presented. The time domain analysis is obtained based on the fully distributed model using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, with the assumption of the skin effect losses. The time-domain results are verified using the conventional time-domain to frequency-domain (TDFD) solution technique.
