Claim:
1. A computer system for generating a complete delay twinaxial Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) model, the computer system comprising one or more computer processors, one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to generate a reduced delay twinaxial SPICE model, the reduced delay twinaxial SPICE model comprising: program instructions to directly measure near end S-parameter components and far end S-parameter components of a twinaxial cable, using a vector network analyzer; program instructions to reduce an original time delay of the far-end S-parameter components by multiplying each of the far-end S-parameter components by a complex exponential based on an equivalent delay length, a signal frequency, and an effective dielectric constant, wherein the complex exponential is e program instructions to simulate a signal transmitted across a twinaxial cable by running a 4-port SPICE model using the near end S parameter components and the multiplied far end S parameter components; program instructions to record a magnitude and a phase of the transmitted signal with respect to frequency as outputs of the reduced delay twinaxial SPICE model; program instructions to recover an original time delay of the far-end S-parameter components using at least two ideal transmission line models; program instructions to block incident waves of the transmitted signal using at least two directional junction circuit models; and program instructions to compare a measured magnitude and phase with respect to frequency of the twinaxial cable, to the recorded magnitude and phase with respect to frequency of the reduced delay twinaxial SPICE model.
