Calculation of the Radio Interference Statistics of Transmission Lines

The procIedure of predicting the radio noise (RN) performance of transmission lines, including ultrahigh voltage (UHV) levels, is outlined. The innovations against former publications on this subject are: 1) A complex eigenvalue/eigenvector analysis using Carson's earth correction terms is applied to RN analysis; 2) A new method of treating the phase correlation between modal noise fields is incorporated; 3) The METIFOR weather model is applied, yielding expected radio reception quality in statistical terms.
