Surge Current Distributions in Base Station of Mobile Communication System

摘要

The paper presents selected results of on-site measurements of surge currents in a typical base station for mobile communication. The station consists of a communication tower and a small container with electronic equipment. The aim of these investigations was to determine surge current distributions in conducting parts of the tower structure and the equipotential bonding configurations during simulated lightning stroke into the top of the communication tower. Effects of different surge current shapes as well as grounding conditions have been taken into account.
