It is assumed that the lightning current along the channel and the emitted light signals exhibit a linear relationship (direct proportionality) in their rising portions. Five return stroke models of the traveling-current-source-type are chosen and compared: the BG model, the classical TCS model, Diendorfer-Uman (DU) model, the modified Diendorfer-Uman (MDU) model and the generalized TCS model (GTCS). It is concluded that the channel discharge constant in the DU and the MDU models as well as the channel distribution function in the GTCS model have the decisive influence on the channel luminosity output. These findings support the idea of evaluating the variations of return stroke current along the lightning return stroke channel using light signals, provided that evaluation is limited to the rising portions of those signals and assuming that the light/current relationship observed at the bottom of the channel holds at other heights.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128222627","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}

The method relies on the application of standard two-port vector network analyzer (VNA) and mode transformers used to exert single mode propagation in the line under test. Verification of practical usability of developed method has been performed for coupled coplanar waveguides (C-CPW). Good coherence between results of measurements of both modal propagation coefficients and characteristic impedances with solutions obtained from the full-wave computations has been achieved. Acquired time domain reflectometry (TDR) waveforms have demonstrated that discontinuities introduced to the investigated structure response in case of the use of mode transformers (single-end driving) are comparable or smaller than in case of differential driving. Moreover, TDR measurements have demonstrated that, dependently on the nature of used transformer, either power-current or power-voltage definition of the modal characteristic impedance provides the best coherence with measurement.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131807357","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}

The magnitude of Ez is significantly influenced by the presence of either building at the field point or strike object. In the case of a lightning strike to flat ground, the magnitude of Ez on the roof of building having a plan area of Sb=40 × 40 m2 and a height of hb=20, 50, or 100 m located at a horizontal distance ranging from d =100 to 500 m from the lightning channel is about 1.5, 2, or 3 times, respectively, greater than that at the same horizontal distance on the ground surface in the absence of building.

Initially, an electromagnetic and topologic code is implemented to simulate the multi conductor transmission line when configuring the line following each method. Then, the far end crosstalk voltage is determined. To picture those results, the crosstalk results obtained by simulation are used for simulating the noise level on ADSL and VDSL channels. We can therefore establish the system performances improvement in terms of reach and bit rate. With both methods, it appears that is possible to decrease crosstalk on the line, and consequently to increase the performances of xDSL transmissions.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"404 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127002563","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}

Physically, the material is placed above an electrically large aperture of the case, that couples considered environments. Thanks to the high conductivity of the material, it is possible to separate numerical domains: only the material lattice is subordinate to the cell contraction.
