Frequency-domain analysis of the characteristic impedance matrix of high-voltage transmission lines

摘要

In high voltage transmission lines, shield wires are periodically grounded and can be periodically sectionalized for several purposes. These two practices have important effects on multiconductor transmission lines, since both affect the wave propagation along the line. In this work, the attention is focused on the frequency behavior of the characteristic impedance. Moreover, the effect of wires transposition on the characteristic impedance is also investigated.
