Comparison of the Field-to-Wire Coupling to Bent and Curved Transmission Lines in Reverberation Chambers

Abstract

In this paper, the stochastic electromagnetic field coupling to bent and curved transmission lines above a conductive ground plane is investigated experimentally. The measurements were performed in a reverberation chamber. Different bend angles of the transmission lines were measured and the coupled voltage at the beginning of the line was analyzed. Moreover, the results of an existing simulation model based on transmission line theory are compared to the measured results.
