Currents and Charges on Cylinders in a Parallel-Plate Transmission Line
Abstract
The final report summarizes the results of a 3-year model study to evaluate how well a parallel-plate transmission-line structure simulates an electromagnetic pulse with a plane-wave front. The amplitude and phase of the electric field inside the model simulator have been measured at two high frequencies for which transmission-line theory does not apply. An approximate theoretical representation of the field is used to interpret the measured data. Differences between the actual field and the desired traveling plane-wave field are discussed, and possible methods to improve the field in the simulator are offered.
