It is shown that over the frequency range characteristic of the nuclear EMP or lightning, composite panels whose fibers do not possess a preferred orientation may be modeled as uniaxially anisotropic conductive or dielectric media, and that the bonded-mesh screen may be modeled as an equivalent sheet impedance operator which has both resistive and reactive components and which is spatially dispersive. We also present the results of time-domain shielding calculations involv ing planar composite panels and cylindrical shells of advanced composites. It is shown that, geometrical considerations aside, a graphite-epoxy composite has a low-pass or integrating characteristic, while a screened poorly conductive composite has a high-pass or differentiating characteristic. Closed regions shielded by composites tend to act as time domain integrators of signals passing from the exterior to the interior in the frequency range below the inter nal cavity resonances. Thus the total transfer characteristic between the fields outside and inside a closed region may be understood as approximately representing attenuation and a double integration for conductive (e.g., graphite-epoxy) composites, or simply attenuation for screened nonconductive com posites .","PeriodicalId":377995,"journal":{"name":"1978 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125821257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results are obtained for a 20 wire ribbon cable and compared to the predictions of the multiconductor transmission line (MTL) model. Based on the experimental configuration tested, it would appear that accurate predictions of crosstalk can be achieved in controlled characteristic cables such as these. The prediction accuracies are typically with + 1 dB for frequencies such that the line is electrically short and + 6 dB for frequencies such that the line is electrically long. It was found that the parasitic wires in the cable can have a significant effect (as much as 40 dB) on the coupling between a generator circuit and a receptor cir cuit in the cable. Therefore to achieve accurate pre dictions in ribbon cables, one must consider the inter actions between all wires in the cable. The wire in sulation evidently cannot be ignored for frequencies such that the line is electrically long. The impedance of the reference wire cannot be ignored for low frequen cies where the common impedance coupling dominates the electromagnetic field coupling.","PeriodicalId":377995,"journal":{"name":"1978 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121962658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an emitter follower circuit such as that which appears at the 741 input, the principle circuit response is due to the emitter-base offset voltage, which may be calculated from knowledge of device material and geometrical factors.
