Used for modeling of transmission lines in ATLAS Detector, "lossy" is transmission line analysis program that analyzes the effect of skin depth and precompensates signals for a microstrip setup using a convolution algorithm.
First, it generates a 10GB library with LTSpice for transmission line data according to any number of desired specs:
- resistance/m, capacitance/m, inductance/m
- number of dropoffs
- length of wire
- input logic (sequence of digital 1/0)
- microstip characteristics (length, width, etc...)
Then, using convolution, it analyzes the following:
- inverse wave (for precompensation)
- transfer function and gain
- effect of skin depth
- inverse wave accounting for skin depth
- transfer function and gain accounting for skin depth
