Solutions of the transmission line equations modified to include excitation by, and reradiation of, electromagnetic fields

Abstract

We have previously derived a new description of the interaction of an electromagnetic wave with a two wire transmission line from Maxwell's equations (1998). This description includes the terms which allow the transmission line to reradiate energy. We show that these equations contain the classical transmission line resonance conditions. We also show that the equations are equivalent to a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. We have developed a computer code that solves this integral equation. Preliminary results are presented.
