The new frequency dependent line and cable model: wideband model

<h6 class="text-black" style="padding-bottom: 30px; padding-top: 30px; text-align: justify;">Speaker: <strong>Ilhan Kocar</strong>, <em>Polytechnique Montréal</em></h6> <p class="text-black">The new WB model encapsulates many improvements including state-of-the-art research results. It eliminates the modeling problems encountered with the existing universal line model (ULM) approach.<br> In the new model, there is no limitation on the number of conductors. For symmetric coaxial cable systems with several cables, numerical problems are avoided by using the new cable correction function. The newly added DC correction scheme together with frequency band partitioning ensures high precision both at low frequencies and high frequencies. Frequency partitioning also improves the numerical conditioning of the system of equations. Unrealistic delays are avoided thanks to the new routines for the identification and adjustment of time delays. The delay adjustment is a search routine with boundaries for optimized fitting.<br><br> The state space formulation in time domain is reformulated using a precise discrete integration method. It minimizes the numerical integration and interpolation errors. This allows achieving stable simulations with larger time steps. The object oriented programming approach with vectorized variables and new memory allocation routines significantly improves the simulation speed and use of memory. The new initialization routines allow seamless transition from steady state solution into time domain simulations.</p></div>
