Radio-frequency analysis of carrier channels on multiconductor distribution cable networks

The frequency-domain analysis of carrier channels on distribution cable networks is performed by means of an efficient procedure based on the nodal approach and modal theory. The multiconductor system may represent any configuration with multiple discontinuity points. The use of equivalent two-port PI-circuits allows the nodal admittance matrix to be defined in a new form. Very accurate frequency-dependent analytical models are developed to simulate systems of single-core cables or multiple-core pipe-type cables, buried or above a ground plane.<
