We investigate a new mean of decreasing leakage and material loss from coaxial cables using different metallic shield and central conducting part geometries. The suggested model is composed of a central conductor surrounded by 40 metallic wires circularly disposed. The proposed cable is also a hybrid one allowing simultaneous transmission of optical as well as radio frequency (RF) signals. The ...

An effort is pursued by several European National Measurement Institutes to lower the uncertainties in calibration of UHV measuring systems for lightning impulse. To this end, several reference dividers are investigated as regards their accuracy both for amplitude and for time parameters. During these investigations a deterioration of step response was identified when longer coaxial cables were...

The current Medium Access Control interface speci cations of the Multimedia Cable Network System (MCNS) project describe a best e ort access service over cable networks. In this paper, we show that even though these speci cations are mainly intended to support IP tra c, there is a signi cant bene t in the strati cation of the cable service o erings. We present a priority system to extend the MC...

Over the last few years, the use of fiber optic cable in place of more conventional coaxial cable has become viable in many applications due to advances in analog fiber technology. This paper presents Fiber-to-BTS i.e. Fiber in Base station Applications, a new system for feeding radio frequency (RF) signals from either the base station controller (BSC) or base transceiver station (BTS) directly...

Blumlein pulsers are well suited devices for high voltage pulse generation in the range of nanoseconds or microseconds. They consist of pieces of transmission lines charged in parallel and discharged synchronously in series into the load by using a single switch. The main problems with this type of circuit are the presence of the shield cable impedance that contributes to the power loss of the ...

The integrity of the wiring in the electric power system of an aircraft is vital to its safe operation. To ensure the wiring integrity, it must be tested to determine if any incipient defects exist. For this purpose, joint time-frequency domain reflectometry (JTFDR) has proven to be effective on shielded, coaxial cable. This paper demonstrates the ability of JTFDR to also effectively detect and...

Calculate the electromagnetic momentum and identify the “hidden” mechanical momentum in a coaxial cable of length L, inner radius a, outer radius b, when a battery of voltage V is connected to one end and a load resistor R0 is connected to the other. The current may be taken as uniformly distributed over the inner conductor, which has resistivity ρ. The outer conductor has negligible resistivit...

The aim of this paper is to present an experimental validation of a frequency-domain approach to the solution of the lightning electromagnetic field-to-buried cable coupling equations. The coupling to the inner conductor is evaluated using the concept of cable transfer impedance. The theoretical model and relevant computer code are tested using experimental data on lightning-induced currents in...

Simulations based on electromagnetic topology (EMT) have been carried out to analyze an external electromagnetic pulse interaction with a shielded coaxial cable linking two systems together. The proposed EMT approach, combined with the SPICE model of the shielded cable, can be applied in the transient simulation directly and used for the electromagnetic interference analysis of systems includin...
