Transient Analysis of Uniform Resistive Transmission Lines in a Homogeneous Medium

Transient analysis of resistive transmission lines has always been difficult. The need for this type of analysis, however, did not become critical until high-density circuit packaging became commonplace. This paper discusses a method for the transient analysis of resistive lines. It does not require a large number of equivalent circuit elements, and yet it can be used to represent a resistive line to any desired accuracy.
