A novel and efficient method for transient analysis of interconnect systems is presented. The method is based on the scattering parameter technique. By extracting the propagation delay of the lossy transmission line and developing an efficient network reduction method, we compute the lower order model of the interconnect system for evaluating the exponentially charging time, keeping track of time-of-flight delay. The accuracy of the system response can be greatly improved from the extraction of the time-of-flight.
