Overview
Review the full text of patent Transmission-line simulators and methods.
Tasks List
Figure out all maths involved in the text
Network parameters transform
Diagonalize a matrix through eigenvalue decomposition
Preserves the relative position of eigenvalues with varying frequency (maybe need normalizing first)
Phase-unwraping based on discontinuity detection (see Phase-unwrapping algorithm is not reliable near singular frequencies #3 )
Sufficient conditions of the algorithm above
Phase-Constant sign determination (may affect Phase-unwrapping algorithm is not reliable near singular frequencies #3 )
Treatment for singularities arising from sinh-1 function (may affect Phase-unwrapping algorithm is not reliable near singular frequencies #3 )
Special treatment at zero-frequency
Matlab environment and data processing
Import data from
.sNpfilesUsage of eigenvalue decomposition function provided by matlab
Data Visualization
