Coupling of Electromagnetic Fields to Transmission Lines

By Albert A. Smith

Regarding the development of the field-to- cable coupling model, the two-wire line is presented first. The differential-mode and common- mode current by the method of images are discussed, as well as... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Coupling of External Electromagnetic Fields to Transmission

A. A. Smith's treatise must be the definitive work on field-to-wire coupling. His formulas are repeatedly used to test and verify results from method of moments (MOM) and other codes, and after becoming familiar with his closed-form solutions (which by the way are easily brought into MathCAD) they become an essential tool for predicting EMC interactions. He covers the effects of incident electric and magnetic fields to single and paired wires over an image ground plane, lossy wires and shielded cables. It's a thin book, but every page is worth the price of the book when you need it - and you'll need it often if you're involved in EMC analysis.

Author's name correction

The author's name is incorrectly listed as "Alberta Smith". It is actually Albert A. Smith, Jr.Mr. Smith's book is the seminal treatment of the subject of coupling of electromagnetic fields into transmission lines. Equations are derived and presented for uniform and non-uniform fields, balanced lines, and unbalanced lines over a ground plane. The material is applicable to many real engineering problems commonly encountered.
