Stochastic Analysis of Multiconductor Cables and Interconnects

This paper provides an effective solution for the simulation of cables and interconnects with the inclusion of the effects of parameter uncertainties. The problem formulation is based on the telegraphers equations with stochastic coefficients, whose solution requires an expansion of the unknown parameters in terms of orthogonal polynomials of random variables. The proposed method offers accuracy and improved efficiency in computing the parameter variability effects on system responses with respect to the conventional Monte Carlo approach. The approach is validated against results available in the literature, and applied to the stochastic analysis of a commercial multiconductor flat cable.
