Multiresolution Time-Domain Scheme for Terminal Response of Two-Conductor Transmission Lines

This paper derives a multiresolution time-domain (MRTD) scheme for the two-conductor lossless transmission line equations based on Daubechies’ scaling functions. And a method is proposed to generate the scheme at the terminal and near the terminal of the lines. The stability and numerical dispersion of this scheme are studied, and the proposed scheme shows a better dispersion property than the conventional FDTD method. Then the MRTD scheme is extended to the two-conductor lossy transmission line equations. The MRTD scheme is implemented with different basis functions for both lossless and lossy transmission lines. Numerical results show that the MRTD schemes which use the scaling functions with high vanishing moment obtain more accurate results.
