In this paper a model for Nonuniform Transmission Lines for electromagnetic transient analysis that incorporates frequency dependency of electrical parameters, variation of line electrical parameters with respect to distance, and distributed excitations due to incident electromagnetic fields is presented. The model is developed using the Method of Characteristics in the actual physical domain instead of the Modal Domain; this simplifies the mathematical development and the final equations. Moreover, the equations of the resultant model are valid either for two-conductor lines or for multiconductor lines without any change; this can be an advantage when the computer programming language considers a scalar as a 1x1 matrix. The proposed numerical model is developed under the hypothesis that the dielectric surrounding the conductors is homogenous. It is shown that in this case the characteristic curves of a Nonuniform Transmission Line become straight lines. Finally, the model is validated by comparison with results obtained using the Numerical Laplace Transform method.
