Formulas For Plane Wave Coupling To A Transmission Line Above Ground With Terminating Loads
This report considers plane wave coupling to a transmission line consisting of a wire above a conducting ground. Comparisons are made for the two types of available source models, along with a discussion about the decomposition of the line currents. Simple circuit models are constructed for the terminating impedances at the ends of the line including radiation effects. Results from the transmission line with these loads show good agreement with full wave simulations. Intentionally Left Blank
