+.TH NGMULTIDEC 1 ngpice
+.SH NAME
+ngmultidec \- make ngpice sub-circuit for coupled transmission lines
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ngmultidec
+[
+.IR options ...
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I ngmultidec
+writes an ngspice input file to standard output which describes a sub-circuit for coupled lines
+using uncoupled simple lossy lines.
+.LP
+Each generated subcircuit models a 4-conductor transmission line with
+the following parameters: length
+.IR l ,
+line capacitance
+.IR c ,
+line resistance
+.IR r ,
+line conductance
+.IR g ,
+inductive_coeff_of_coupling
+.IR k ,
+inter-line capacitance
+.IR cm ,
+length
+.IR l .
+Derived parameters are:
+.IR lm ,
+.IR ctot .
+The values of
+.IR l ,
+.IR c ,
+the model name, the number of conductors and the length of the line
+must be specified.
+.LP
+It is important to note that the model is a simplified one - the
+following assumptions are made: 1. The self-inductance l, the
+self-capacitance ctot (note: not c), the series resistance r and the
+parallel capacitance g are the same for all lines, and 2. Each line
+is coupled only to the two lines adjacent to it, with the same
+coupling parameters cm and lm. The first assumption implies that edge
+effects have to be neglected. The utility of these assumptions is
+that they make the sL+R and sC+G matrices symmetric, tridiagonal and
+Toeplitz, with useful consequences (see the paper referenced below).
+.LP
+It may be noted that a symmetric two-conductor line is
+represented accurately by this model.
+.LP
+Standard C language scientific (exponent) notation may be used for options' numeric values.
