ELECTROMAGNETIC TOPOLOGY - INVESTIGATIONS OF NONUNIFORM TRANSMISSION-LINE NETWORKS

The electromagnetic topology approach is often used to calculate the c urrent or voltage that can appear on a transmission line network illum inated by a disturbing wave, However the lines are supposed to be para llel to a ground plane and, furthermore, the model has often been appl ied on canonical cases, In this paper, a generalization of this formal ism to treat nonuniform transmission lines is presented, Moreover, by treating a wiring installed inside a Transall airplane mockup, a compa rison between theoretical and experimental results shows the validity and the interest of this approach.
