Modeling of RF coupling on SSC silicon microstrip detector

The silicon microstrip detectors are important parts of the Superconducting Supercollider program. SPICE simulation indicates that the pulse shape on the detector is distorted by the resistance of the thin strip. The RF coupling from the external field was calculated by the method of moments. Simulation results showed that the induced voltage increased proportionally to the frequency. The induced voltage on a high-resistance line became lower at a higher frequency than that of a low-resistance line.<
