Ideally a cable does not introduce power-losses and the electrical signal applied at the input is transferred integrally to the output, without any modification of its parameters. Unfortunately, in real conditions, there is always an alteration of the transmitted signal, because of reactive and resistive (parasite) parameters of the interconnection system constituted by the cable and the two end connectors. The behavior of a real interconnection system can be evaluated considering different parameters, such as the signal attenuation and distortion that can become critical with the increasing of the frequency. The analysis of the problem can be carried out taking into consideration a set of electrical parameters, depending on the adopted modeling methodology. The traditional approach refers to the lumped elements: resistance (R), inductance (L) and capacity (C), as shown in the electrical model of [B]Figure 1[/B]. The behavior of a cable can be also described by means of the transfer function. Moreover, it is also important to analyze the electric and magnetic coupling between different lines of the interconnect system, because they can be a source of crosstalk noise. Of the different application fields that can be mentioned as a basic reference for the problem under consideration, one may refer to the audio signal transmission in high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) applications.
