This paper considers broadband signal transmission via high-voltage/broadband over power lines (HV/BPL) channels associated with overhead power transmission. To determine the end-to-end channel characteristics of various overhead HV/BPL multiconductor transmission line (MTL) configurations, the chain scattering matrix or T -Matrix (TM) method is adopted. The overhead HV/BPL transmission channel...

A new method of modeling the skinand proximity-effect within transmission lines is presented. This technique is used in connection with an algorithm for a fast time domain simulation of the signal propagation in lossy interconnect systems. The frequency-dependence of the line parameters is taken automatically into consideration by the chosen approach and does not need to be known in advance. In...

This document treats the crosstalk between parallel conductors. The conductors can represent either conductors in a multiconductor cable or traces on a printed circuit board (PCB). An analysis method based on a lumped circuit equivalent for the problem as well as a method to calculate the per unit length parameters are presented. The computed results are validated by comparison with measurement...

In this study, the implementation of different corona discharge models in a transient program for overhead multiconductor lines based on implicit Crank-Nicolson Finite Difference Time Domain method is presented. Among available literature, two empirical (Gary's and Suliciu's models) physics-based model (Malik's model) are discussed, which broadly used EMT programs, their predictions under fast-...

In this work, we used the finite element method (FEM) and the multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) method for designing an UHF magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe. This radio frequency (RF) volume coil quasi-transverse electromagnetic (quasi-TEM) type, based on the use of 16 microstrip transmission line elements has been developed for in vivo hydrogen magnetic resonance (HMR) application ...

Garbe University of Paderborn C-LAB/ASE Paderborn Germany University of Hannover Hannover Germany Abstract: A hybrid method which combines the Method of Moments (MoM) and the multiconductor transmission line (MTL) equations is presente...

The ground impedance matrix elements of a multiconductor overhead transmission line do not have analytical inverse Fourier transforms in the time domain. Thus, in general, the ground transient resistance matrix elements are to be determined numerically. Using the low-frequency approximation analytical expressions are available for the ground transient resistance. These expressions present howev...

The paper investigates some crucial aspects in the derivation of time-domain equivalent circuits of lossy multiconductor transmission lines, obtained by using the generalized method of characteristic. The paper highlights how an exact evaluation of the effect of the propagation delays not only provide an accurate time-domain equivalent circuit, but suggests naturally the way to obtain a reduced...
