Time Domain Analysis of the Coupling of Stochastic Electromagnetic Fields into Transmission Line Structures
Final Report Abstract
Within this project, the coupling of statistical electromagnetic fields into transmission line structures was investigated in time domain. As a test object, a network consisting of three single lines above a ground plane was chosen. Electrical long lines with mismatched terminations were used so that the behavior of the DUT could be investigated at critical resonant frequencies. The network was tested with both linear and nonlinear loads, e. g. a diode. In a first step, the transmission line network was investigated in the time domain excited by a single plane wave. For this purpose, a simulation model was created in MATLAB and then validated with measurements in a GTEM cell. In addition, this solution was compared with an existing solution based on the BLT equations with subsequent inverse Fourier transform in the frequency domain. Tests were carried out with both linear and nonlinear loads. In the linear case, the simulation results agree with those of an existing frequency domain solution based on the BLT equations. Subsequently, the solution for a plane wave was extended to a stochastic field. Such stochastic field was represented by the superposition of plane waves with random incidence and polarization. Thereby a certain number of waves reproduce a fixed electromagnetic boundary condition or a stirrer position in a reverberation chamber.
