Histocially, spice has no model for lossy transmission lines. Recently some people have
appriximated lossy transmission lines with R,C,Line models which they claim match
the lines they were trying to simulate. However, each model must depend on the
particular line. So, there will always be errors.
Frequency domain models, with frequency domain simulators can handle this
problem with the best fit bit but models never exactly match the real world.

All Sirs,
Thanks for your advice.But I still have some questions.
I use the .AC analysis to simulate the high frequency loss of
transmission line.I use the .NET option of the .AC analysis.I mainly
simulate the S21 parameter.
But I found that the loss DB between simulation and test (I test with
HP network analyer) is
more and more different with frequency increasing.The loss DB of simulation
is less than that of
test.I want to know the reason.The .sp file is following:

I want to know how should i assign values to 'ROUT' and
'RIN' in the .NET option
of the .AC analysis of the HSPICE.I have seen that very different results
can be got
with different values of 'ROUT' and 'RIN'.What's the theory of .NET
analysis to 'S21'
in HSPICE?
I also noticed that even i use different stimulus signals(100M,500M,1G
or 2G) applying to transmission lines.There is no anything changed in the
parameter matrix Ro,Lo,Co,Go,Rs,Gd.Why?How can i deal with these matrixes
in exact
frequency ?Perhaps it concerns somehow to the results of the loss of
transmission line.
