PSpice - Transmission Line Modeling

In high-speed signal transmission, understanding transmission line behavior is imperative to achieving proper impedance matching and proper termination to minimize loss stemming from reflections, as well as to maximize signal integrity. This paper shows that transmission line behavior can be accurately modeled using simple SPICE simulations with an inductance (L) and capacitance (C) network, and also provides a good physical understanding of the mechanism of reflections and derivation of key formulas.
