Abstract:
1. A computer modeling system comprising: a processor that has at least one input that receives parameters related to one or more electrical transmission lines, the parameters representing one or more physical characteristics and one or more electrical characteristics of the one or more electrical transmission lines; a database with a set of one or more macromodels that in which the processor is arranged to apply the parameters in a simulation to determine an electrical behavior of one or more of the electrical transmission lines; and an automatic selection process controlled by the processor that selects a macromodel from the set of macromodels to simulate one or more of the electrical transmission lines, the selection of the macromodel being determined by one of 1) comparing a total distortion to an error threshold and 2) comparing a length of the transmission line to a critical length calculated from the parameters, wherein the processor provides a generated transmission line macromodel corresponding to the selected macromodel to an electrical circuit simulator program.
