Abstract

Plane-wave excitation fields are not always sufficient for the immunity characterization of wire-type structures operating in the contemporary manmade environment. Following a previous work dealing with straight-wire transmission lines in the presence of nonuniform fields, the present paper examines twisted-wire pairs. Numerical results for the induced load voltages reveal the importance of field nonuniformity for assessing the immunity behavior of twisted-wire transmission lines on a firmer basis.
