oscilloscope, which is 1 GHz today, was approximately 10 MHz 10 years
ago. The length is inversely proportional to the frequency, and therefore it
becomes necessary to deal with a transient on a 1-m conductor whose natu-
ral resonant frequency is on the order of 100 MHz. Schelkunoff’s, Pollaczek’s,
and Carson’s impedances adopted in any circuit theory-based simulation
tool, such as the EMTP, may not be applied [3]. The limits of assumption
should be clearly explained in the rule book of a simulation tool, and the
kill codes corresponding to the impedance and admittance limits should be
prepared in the tool. Problems ...
