Modelling of HIRF coupling on complex cable architectures

This paper describes the procedure put to the fore in the EC's FP7 HIRF-SE project for carrying out HIRF simulations at aircraft level. The solution proposed is based on the use of MTLN models cable links under test and a 3D full wave solver including thin wire models in order to take into account coupling with the whole structure and the rest of the wiring. Further simplifications based on the cable route topology are made in order to reduce the number of equivalent wires in the final MTLN models.
