Comments on 'A SPICE model for multiconductor transmission lines excited by an incident electromagnetic field' [and reply]

摘要

In a recent paper, C.R. Paul (see ibid., vol.36, p.342, 1994) discusses the concept of using the SPICE circuit analysis code for simulating field-to-wire coupling. He may not be aware that similar work has already been undertaken. A paper by Broyde et al. (1991) appears to be the first published implementation of this idea. The present comments on Paul's mostly theoretical paper emphasize some practical aspects of the simulation of EMC problems using a SPICE simulation program when multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) models are implemented. C.R. Paul responds to the comments.
