MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) made of resistive strips have raised as a promising technology for the protection against spark processes having place in the gaseous chamber. The reproduction of the signals and its propagation through the resistive foil is mandatory to better understand its behavior and optimize the key parameters which might depend on the application requirements. In this work it will be presented a resistive-strip model and the charge diffusion through the resistive strip for different model parameters, such as the strip linear resistivity and capacitance, together with the advantages and/or disadvantages of this type of technology.
