Abstract:

As processor and clock frequency increases, conventional circuits such as delay lines have to be considered as distributed elements. Consequently, classical analytic and semi-analytic techniques that predict delay line behavior be-come ineffective, thus making the use of full-wave modeling essential. In this work, the three-dimensional full-wave Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) code is used for analyzing delay lines. Results are presented showing the spurious time-advance phenomenon that results from the synchronous coupling due to the line topology.
