Calculation of radiated electromagnetic fields from cables using time-domain simulation

Radiated electromagnetic fields are produced by currents in cables or transmission lines interconnecting various circuits. An elegant method of computing the resultant electromagnetic field, produced by several radiating current elements, is given. The current in each radiating cable is first found from a time-domain simulation algorithm and this may be a steady-state or transient current. The radiated field is then calculated by assuming that a radiating transmission line can be treated as a chain of short radiating dipoles. The problems associated with the calculation of the near-zone term at low frequencies and the overall response near the radiator are clarified. The proposed technique is fully evaluated and compared with other methods.<
