Basic EMC Technology Advancement for C3 Systems. Volume 4F. Prediction of Crosstalk in Flatpack Coaxial Cables.
Abstract
The electromagnetic crosstalk present in a class of cables known as flatpack, coaxial cables is investigated. The multiconductor transmission line equations are used to derive a model of a general flatpack, coaxial cable consisting of n cables. This model is then implemented as a digital computer program to allow simulation of the crosstalk levels present in the cable. This simulation is compared to experimental results to prove that the model is valid and can accurately predict the crosstalk levels. Also the effect of common impedance coupling, the presence of drain wires to allow for connection to the shields of the cable, and the presence of pigtail sections (exposed sections of wire) is examined to determine their effect on the overall electromagnetic crosstalk present in the cable. Keywords include: Crosstalk; Flatpack cables; Electromagnetic compatibility; Transmission lines; and Modelling.
