Web-Based Application for Cable Simulation Models

Attenuation in a lossy coaxial cable increases over distance and varies over frequency. Having a model of these variations can help predict the expected loss and distortion of a signal. This paper discusses a free web-based application developed to provide accurate SPICE models for various coaxial cable types. The user can specify a length and select between different cable types, or upload their own cable attenuation curve, and receive a SPICE model for that cable. These simulation models have been used to assist the design and development of new instrumentation systems for the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC).
