Summary
Summary
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.

Choice Review
Miano and Maffucci offer a complete and general look at analysis methods for electrical circuits containing transmission lines. Their book goes beyond the traditional treatment of transmission lines to include lines connected to time-varying or nonlinear loads. The transmission lines are modeled as time-domain multiport circuits; each chapter adds details to cover specific situations. After an introductory chapter covering basic transmission line theory, the book discusses, in order, ideal two-conductor lines, ideal multiconductor lines, lossy two-conductor lines, frequency dependent two conductor lines, lossy multiconductor lines, and nonuniform transmission lines. The book concludes with discussions of the transmission lines characteristic equation, lines connected to nonlinear networks, and transmission line circuits with chaotic responses conclude. An invaluable resource to researchers and graduate students interested in all aspects of transmission lines, from high-speed microelectronic interconnections to high-voltage power lines. L. J.
