Numerical investigations on pulse coupling to single and multiple conductor systems

Pulse coupling to single- and multiple-conductor systems is investigated by means of numerical field calculations for excitation by a plane electromagnetic pulse field. The effects on a single wire are calculated first, and the difference between a short-circuit and open-circuit line is illustrated. For two systems of parallel lines of different lengths, some typical coupling effects are shown and interpreted. The resonances occurring in the frequency domain clearly form the shape of currents or fields in the time domain. A typical frequency-dependent current curve is compared with measured values.<
