Experimental validations of the “equivalent cable bundle method”

Abstract

This paper deals with the experimental validations performed on a large frequency range (100 MHz – 3 GHz) of a method called “equivalent cable bundle method”. This method creates a “reduced” cable bundle containing a limited number of conductors - each of them called “equivalent conductor” - from a multiconductor cable bundle. The main purpose of the method is to use those reduced cable bundle models in larger 3D models for “high frequency” EM immunity coupling assessment in automotive EMC modeling.
