Inverse Scattering for Transmission Lines (ISTL)

Participants : Michel Sorine, Qinghua Zhang.

ISTL is a software for numerical computation of the inverse scattering transform for electrical transmission lines. In addition to the inverse scattering transform, it includes a numerical simulator generating the reflection coefficients of user-specified transmission lines. With the aid of a graphical interface, the user can interactively define the distributed characteristics of a transmission line. This software is mainly for the purpose of demonstrating a numerical solution to the inverse problem of non uniform transmission lines. Its current version is limited to the case of lossless transmission lines. It is registered at Agence pour la Protection des Programmes (APP) under the number IDDN.FR.001.120003.000.S.P.2010.000.30705.
