Simulink simulation of transmission lines

MATLAB can manipulate and invert large matrices and can be used in many numerical applications. MATLAB's capabilities can be extended with a recent addition called Simulink, a program which is normally used in the analysis and synthesis of modern control systems. Simulink, now incorporated into MATLAB, can also be used to analyze distributed transmission lines. Hence, it can be directly used in the analysis and design of microwave, electric power, and VLSI networks. In addition to demonstrating its wider applicability, we include several examples that are normally described in books or papers directed to the study of pulse propagation along transmission lines.
