Generalized transmission line theory as an antenna theory for EMC analysis

摘要

This contribution exhibits the equivalence between generalized transmission line theory and antenna theory, as applied to thin-wire structures. While in antenna theory focus is put on the direct solution of appropriate field integral equations, in the derivation of generalized transmission line theory the relevant field integral equations are first transformed into equivalent generalized Telegrapher equations and eventually solved by methods which are tailored to transmission line theory. This is illustrated by two examples that exemplify the use of generalized transmission line theory in EMC analysis for the investigation of radiating transmission line systems.
