Electromagnetic Field Coupling to Overhead Wire Configurations: Antenna Model versus Transmission Line Approach

Abstract

The paper deals with two different approaches for the analysis of electromagnetic field coupling to finite length overhead wire: the wire antenna theory (AT) and the transmission line (TL) method. The analysis is carried out in the frequency and time domain, respectively. Within the frequency domain analysis the wire antenna formulation deals with the corresponding set of Pocklington integrodifferential equation, while the transmission line model uses the telegrapher's equations. The set of Pocklington equations is solved via the Galerkin-Bubnov scheme of the Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM), while the telegrapher’s equations are treated using the chain matrix method and the modal equation to derive per-unit-length parameters. For the case of the time domain analysis AT model uses the space-time Hallen integral equation set, while TL approach deals with the time domain version of the telegrapher’s equations. Hallen equations are handled via time domain version of GB-IBEM, while time domain telegrapher’s equations are solved by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Many illustrative computational examples for the frequency and time domain response, respectively, for several configurations of overhead wires, obtained via different approaches, are given in this paper.

Analysis of Electromagnetic Field Coupling to Microstrip Line Connected With Nonlinear Components

“…Classical field-to-TL coupling theory has been developed and frequently used to compute the coupling of electromagnetic fields to TLs with linear terminations [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Especially, the radiated interference on printed circuit board (PCB) layout through the fieldto-TL route has become a growing concern in prediction of system reliability [15,16].…”
