Kron-Branin Model of Braided Coaxial Cable Illuminated by Electromagnetic Wave

This paper develops an innovative model of shielded coaxial cable illuminated by high power electromagnetic pulse. This Kron-Branin model is a flexible and efficient way of wave-circuit hybrid calculation, which is based on Branin’s transmission line (TL) model and tensorial analysis of network (TAN). The traditional equivalent circuit is transferred into a topology graph consists of basic elements like nodes, branches, meshes, and cords. Electromagnetic and circuit equations can be derived and transferred according to the graph. The graph topology and equivalent transmission line equation of illuminated shielded cable structure is presented in this paper. A good correlation between the analytical calculation of the KB model and commercial simulation software is obtained.
