Dave-

Yes, our group has modeled the rise time degradation in simulation using the
Hspice W-element and have achieved reasonable model to hardware correlation.

When using a microstrip model, the fields propagated through the dielectric
and through the air are accounted for in the model, so I don't think you
really want/need to kluge up a model that utilizes a stripline and an
airline to do the simulation.
