Field Excitation of Multiconductor Transmission Lines

Abstract

This report discusses the excitation of a multiconductor transmission line by an incident electromagnetic field. Specific relations for the terminal (or load) response of a multiconductor line are derived in terms of field- induced voltage and current sources which are distributed along the transmission line. It is shown how these sources are derived for a general multiconductor line and how they may be derived from a knowledge of the incident (or free space) fields by using a field coupling parameter. The components of the exciting fields along the line are then given explicitly for the special case of an incident plane wave with arbitrary angle of incidence.
