Description
The theory of transmission lines is a classical topic of electrical engineering. Recently this topic has received renewed attention and
has been a focus of considerable research. This is because the transmisson line theory has found new and important applications in the
area of high-speed VLSI interconnects, while it has retained its significance in the area of power transmission. In many applications,
transmission lines are connected to nonlinear circuits. For instance, interconnects of high-speed VLSI chips can be modelled as transmission
lines loaded with nonlinear elements. These nonlinearities may lead to many new effects such as instability, chaos, generation of higher
order harmonics, etc. The mathematical models of transmission lines with nonlinear loads consist of the linear partial differential
equations describing the current and voltage dynamics along the lines together with the nonlinear boundary conditions imposed by the
nonlinear loads connected to the lines. These nonlinear boundary conditions make the mathematical treatment very difficult. For this
reason, the analysis of transmission lines with nonlinear loads has not been addressed adequately in the existing literature. The unique
and distinct feature of the proposed book is that it will present systematic, comprehensive, and in-depth analysis of transmission lines
with nonlinear loads.
