Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find a faster and more convenient method for simulating a transient response of viscoelastic transmission lines. Another objective of this study is to formulate and evaluate rational polynomial approximations for an exact model for viscoelastic transmission lines. If an approximation by rational polynomials is carried out using precision accuracy, we can adopt conventional methods of numerical integration for ordinary differential equations, and thus, we obtain a faster and more convenient method for simulation. It could be confirmed that the results of simulation agreed well with the experimental results, and thus, the usefulness of the proposed method could be verified.
