Claim Text:
1. A resistive circuit comprising a transmission line and a resistor, wherein: the transmission line comprises a lossy electrical-signal transmission line having first and second ends; the transmission line is configured such that characteristic impedance at the first end of the transmission line has a first value, characteristic impedance at the second end of the transmission line has a second value, the second value being lower than the first value, and a series resistance of the transmission line measured from the first end to the second end of the transmission line is within a given range of the difference between said first and second values; the first and second ends of the transmission line are ports of the transmission line, each port comprising a first terminal and a second terminal; and the resistor is connected between the first and second terminals at the second end of the transmission line.
