An s-domain method for transient analysis of lossy, frequency dependent nonuniform transmission lines having parameters arbitrary varying with space is presented. Nonuniform line is divided into adequate number of sections which are then assumed uniform. The terminal equation for the nonuniform line is calculated by using the terminal equations of the uniform line sections. By using the boundary conditions, total response in s-domain is obtained. Fast inverse Laplace transform is used for frequency to time domain conversion. In one of the examples, the step response of an open ended nonuniform line is obtained and the results are compared with those obtained by lattice-diagram technique. The effect of number of sections is investigated and it is concluded that for sufficiently large number of sections, the results approach to the analytical solutions which can be obtained only for very special nonuniform lines. In the second example, the method is applied for the calculation of transmission tower lightning surge response. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
