Abstract:
1. A transmission system comprising: a first interconnection, the first interconnection comprising a first plurality of transmission conductors and a first reference conductor, the first plurality of transmission conductors having first ends and second ends, and wherein the first interconnection is modeled as a multiconductor transmission line; a first termination circuit, the first termination circuit presenting an impedance matrix, wherein the impedance matrix approximately matches a characteristic impedance matrix of the first plurality of transmission conductors in a known frequency band, the first termination circuit coupled to the first ends of the first plurality of transmission conductors; a first transmit circuit, the first transmit circuit comprising a first transmit input and a first transmit output, the first transmit circuit to produce first transmit signals each having a modal voltage or a modal current in accordance with a predefined linear transform of signals received at the first transmit input, the first transmit output coupled to the first ends of the first plurality of transmission conductors to transmit the first transmit signals on the first plurality of transmission conductors; and a first receive circuit, the first receive circuit comprising a first receive input and a first receive output, the first receive circuit to produce first receive signals each having a recovered voltage or current in accordance with an inverse of the predefined linear transform, the first receive input coupled to the second ends of the first plurality of transmission conductors to receive the first transmit signals, the first receive output to output the first receive signals.
