Abstract

As studied by Jaulent in 1982, the inverse problem of lossy electric transmission lines is closely related to the inverse scattering of Zakharov-Shabat equations with two potential functions. Focusing on the numerical solution of this inverse scattering problem, we develop a fast one-shot algorithm based on the Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko equations and on some differential equations derived from the Zakharov-Shabat equations. Compared to existing results, this new algorithm is computationally more efficient. It is then applied to the synthesis of non uniform lossy electric transmission lines.
