-.TH NGMULTIDEC 1 ngpice
-.SH NAME
-ngmultidec \- make ngpice sub-circuit for coupled transmission lines
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ngmultidec
-[
-.IR options ...
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I ngmultidec
-writes an ngspice input file to standard output which describes a sub-circuit for coupled lines
-using uncoupled simple lossy lines.
-.LP
-Each generated subcircuit models a 4-conductor transmission line with
-the following parameters: length
-.IR l ,
-line capacitance
-.IR c ,
-line resistance
-.IR r ,
-line conductance
-.IR g ,
-inductive_coeff_of_coupling
-.IR k ,
-inter-line capacitance
-.IR cm ,
-length
-.IR l .
-Derived parameters are:
-.IR lm ,
-.IR ctot .
-The values of
-.IR l ,
-.IR c ,
-the model name, the number of conductors and the length of the line
-must be specified.
-.LP
-It is important to note that the model is a simplified one - the
-following assumptions are made: 1. The self-inductance l, the
-self-capacitance ctot (note: not c), the series resistance r and the
-parallel capacitance g are the same for all lines, and 2. Each line
-is coupled only to the two lines adjacent to it, with the same
-coupling parameters cm and lm.
-The first assumption implies that edge effects have to be neglected.
-The utility of these assumptions is
-that they make the sL+R and sC+G matrices symmetric, tridiagonal and
-Toeplitz, with useful consequences (see the paper referenced below).
-.LP
-It may be noted that a symmetric two-conductor line is
-represented accurately by this model.
-.LP
-Standard C language scientific (exponent) notation may be used for options' numeric values.
