Predicting Electromagnetic Interference to a Terminated Wire Using Characteristic Mode Analysis
Keywords:
Characteristic mode analysis, field-to-wire coupling, interferenceAbstract
Electromagnetic coupling to realistic wire configurations exhibit large variations with respect to the frequency, incident angle, and polarization of the interfering signal. In this work, Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) is used to calculate the fundamental modes of a terminated wire above an infinite ground plane. Using the properties of the modes, the coupled currents to the wire's loads are predicted for different incident excitations. Using this simple but practical wire configuration, we show the versatility of CMA in practical electromagnetic interference and coupling applications.
