Abstract

This paper presents an efficient hybrid method consisting of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, transmission line (TL) equations, and a fast calculation method for excitation fields, which can be applied to the coupling analysis of the shielded cable on the ground excited by plane wave rapidly. It can avoid modeling the infinite ground and the structure of the shielded cable directly. In this hybrid method, the shielded cable is decomposed into external and internal transmission line models, and the corresponding TL equations for the external and internal TL models are established necessarily. Then the FDTD method is utilized to solve the TL equations to obtain the transient responses on the shielding layer and core wires of the cable. A numerous examination of the coupling of coaxial cable exhibits that this hybrid method has very high accuracy and efficiency compared with the SPICE method. Finally, the methods of effective shielding protection of the cable have been proposed by analyzing the influences of the grounding states of the shielding layer, the electromagnetic parameters of the ground and the heights of the cable on the transient responses of the cable.
