The major drawback of PCE is that the computational costs grow exponentially with the number of stochastic variables. This work presents a systematic and numerically efficient approach for the application of PCE to cascaded transmission lines where the characteristic impedances are stochastically given and independent from each other. As an example, a stepped impedance filter is analyzed containing up to 31 transmission line segments. The modeling approach is validated with Monte-Carlo (MC) and shows a very good agreement and a significant speedup. The presented method is valid for concatenation of any passive linear circuit.enpolynomial chaos expansion (PCE)transmission line theoryuncertaintyTechnikConference Paper10.1109/NEMO.2015.7415076Other
