A network simulator for Josephson circuits is described and its performance is compared with SPICE. The simulator proposed here can simulate large scale networks containing either lossy or lossless transmission lines and nonlinear lumped elements such as Josephson junctions. The transmission line treatment is completely general but with constant distributed parameters, and all lumped elements may be nonlinear. This paper focuses on the simulation of the transmission lines; the technique for this simulation is based on the linearity of the elements of the transmission line. The propagating waves are divided into short pulses represented by the sum of two step functions delays with respect to each other. The equations for the treatment of the transmission lines are given and some example simulations are presented.
