Parametric Fault Diagnosis of Very High-Frequency Circuits Containing Distributed Parameter Transmission Lines

Parametric fault diagnosis of analog very high-frequency circuits consisting of a distributed parameter transmission line (DPTL) terminated at both ends by lumped one-ports is considered in this paper. The one-ports may include linear passive and active components. The DPTL is a uniform two-conducto...
