Experimental and Analytical Methods for the Characterization of B-52 Aircraft Multiconductor Cable Network.

Abstract

This report presents the results of CW and transient measurements made on a multiconductor cable in a B-52 aircraft and in the laboratory. The laboratory measurements are made on a model of the B-52 aircraft cable. The multiconductor cable is modeled by a single-wire transmission line. The equivalent single-wire line represents the common-mode propagation on the cable. The equivalent single-line parameters are obtained from the measured multiconductor-line parameters and are compared with simple calculations. The aircraft ribs and bulkhead penetrations are characterized and included in the model. A comparison of measured bulk current transfer ratios in the aircraft and in the laboratory along with calculated results is presented. (Author)
