Block-Latency Insertion Method (Block-LIM) for Fast Transient Simulation of Tightly Coupled Transmission Lines

摘要

This paper describes a block-latency insertion method (LIM) for the fast transient simulation of the large networks with many coupling elements. First, the basic formulation of LIM is reviewed. Next, the block-LIM formulation for the network with many coupling elements, such as the mutual inductance, the mutual capacitance, and controlled sources is described. Then, the block-LIM algorithm is applied to the tightly coupled transmission lines, which are connected to each other by a number of mutual inductors and capacitors. Finally, some numerical results are shown, and it is confirmed that the proposed technique is useful and efficient for the simulation of the tightly coupled transmission lines.
