On the leakage radiation from a circumferentially-slotted cylinderand its application to the EMI produced by TEM-coaxial rotaryjoints

The amount of leakage radiation, as well as the radiation pattern and its gain, produced by a complete 360° circumferential-narrow gap cut in a coaxial cable carrying a TEM mode is determined. Leakage levels for such a typical cable of approximately 26% are predicted to occur for gaps as small as about 0.0074λ. The former is substantiated by measurement on a ⅞" diameter coaxial cable of 50 Ω characteristic impedance operating at 2 GHz. Estimates of the EMI levels produced by typical coaxial choked-rotary joints (where the chokes significantly decrease the gap leakage) operating at high power levels are then given     

On the electromagnetic field of a dielectric coated coaxial cable with an interrupted shield

A boundary value treatment is used to derive field expressions for a dielectric coated coaxial cable with a gap in the shield. Specific results are given for an incident TEM mode in the interior coaxial region. For example, it is shown that, for the VHF region, as much as 18 percent of the incident power is radiated into the external region via a single circumferential gap in the shield. Comparable amounts of power are transferred to a reflected TEM mode in the cable and into surface waves in the dielectric jacket.

Numerical analysis of the propagation characteristics of multianglemultislot coaxial cable using moment method

In this paper, multiangle multislot coaxial cable is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. This is the extended result of the previous studies of the single-slot coaxial cable. The properties of this cable have been studied by many authors, especially for the surface-wave type. However, the slotted coaxial cable utilizing leaky waves has not been treated rigorously despite its wide use. In this paper, a numerical analysis of a leaky coaxial cable with a multiangle multislot configuration is performed to obtain many useful results, which are impossible to derive employing the approximate model frequently used in this area. Using the moment method, the propagation constant has been obtained for the leaky coaxial cable as a function of various parameters. Several slot configurations are considered to give insight into the properties of coupling loss and transmission loss complicated by simultaneous existence of leaky and surface waves

Calculated Channel Characteristics of a Braided Coaxial Cable in a Mine Tunnel

The braided coaxial cable is studied as a communication scheme in a mine tunnel. A simplified rectangular waveguide model is adopted for the tunnel, and the shield of the cable is assumed to behave as a single inductive transfer impedance. Specific results on the attenuation of the monofilar and bifilar (or coaxial) modes of propagation, taking into account the possible existence of a thin lossy film on the cable, are presented. In order to estimate the maximum possible range of communication, we consider the coupling factors of these modes to transmitting and receiving dipoles inside the tunnel, and we present results on these factors for various cable parameters and over a wide range of frequencies.     

Low-Noise Ultralinear Line Repeaters for the L5 Coaxial System

Two major characteristics of the coaxial cable that are of paramount importance in the design of coaxial line repeaters are the nominal cable loss and the variation in the cable loss due to seasonal variations in cable temperature. As a result, there are two types of line repeaters used to equalize for the cable loss characteristics. One is a low-noise ultralinear fixed-gain amplifier. It is designated the basic repeater and is used to equalize for the nominal loss of the coaxial cable. The second type, called the regulating repeater, includes a basic repeater plus additional circuitry which automatically corrects for dynamic variations in cable loss due to temperature. Some of the important design techniques that are used to achieve these low-noise ultralinear repeaters are described. In addition, an analysis of the steady-state response of a tandem string of regulating repeaters is included.     

A backbone highway communications system using coaxial cable

The problem of providing the communication link for modern highway management and control is analyzed. A 100- mile span of highway is analyzed for typical voice and control function requirements plus closed circuit television monitoring capability. Based on this analysis, the number of channels and hence the bandwidth required to meet typical requirements is developed. It is proposed that a coaxial cable system can best provide the bandwidth and access flexibility that will be necessary for the many links required for effective highway management. A coaxial cable system as a transmission path is shown to be two dimensional in that it involves absolute signal levels as well as spectrum considerations. An analysis of distortion characteristics of state of the art coaxial cable systems is included to arrive at signal to noise plus distortion ratios versus cable length and amplifier gains. Typical cable costs, burial and tunneling labor costs are discussed to show economic practicality. Finally, two high-capacity cable systems are discussed to illustrate the communications capacity of coaxial cable systems.

Considerations on performance evaluation of cavity-backed slotantenna using the FDTD technique

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is considered a versatile and efficient tool for the solution of Maxwell's equations in complex structures for any time dependence. We show an antenna feed model suitable for performance evaluation of a cavity-backed slot antenna using the FDTD technique. The gap voltage and the coaxial feed models are examined, and their input characteristics and absolute gains are compared. Analytical results show that the input characteristics are estimated with fewer time steps for the coaxial model than for the conventional gap voltage model. Furthermore, we show how to calculate absolute gains and radiation patterns using the coaxial model and a sinusoidal voltage source at the desired frequency. The computed results of the absolute gain converge after the fifteenth period of the voltage source for the coaxial model and are in good agreement with the experimental results. On the other hand, the absolute gain is observed to fluctuate when the gap voltage model is used. The performance evaluation and comparison reveals that the coaxial model is an appropriate feed model for use in the analysis of the performance of the cavity-backed slot antenna using the FDTD technique. The good agreement of the FDTD results with the experimental measurements demonstrates the effectiveness of the model and the method proposed     

Magnetic Field Pickup by Flexible Braid Coaxial Cables

Cabling systems have long been known to be a source of unwanted pickup of radio-frequency interference. A typical source of pickup occurs when the outer sheath of a coaxial cable system forms part of a ground return for potentially interfering electromagnetic energy. Another source of penetration arises from a magnetic field which is perpendicular to the axis of the coaxial cable. A previous study demonstrated that the field emanating from a coaxial cable could be characterized as an equivalent open-wire pair. This particular effect is caused by the eccentricity between the centers of the outer and the inner conductors or because of other asymmetrical characteristics. The susceptibility of a coaxial cabling system to perpendicular magnetic fields can also be characterized in terms of an equivalent open-wire pair for short runs. The purpose of this investigation was to measure the shielding effectiveness of a typical flexible braid coaxial cable to magnetic fields perpendicular to its axis and to demonstrate that a coaxial cable may be considered as an equivalent open-wire pair in a cylindrical shield. A test setup employed a parallel plane transmission line to generate a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the axis of the coaxial cable. The shielding effectiveness of the braid was measured for several classes of braid conditions. Then, using the same braid, a coaxial cable with an experimentally induced known eccentricity was employed and the overall pickup measured. The results confirmed the objectives of the investigation.     

Radio frequency coupling between an antenna and two unshieldedparallel wires above a metal sheet-measurement precautions

An unshielded 1 m transmission line, made of two parallel wires suspended 0.1 m above a plane metal sheet, is illuminated in the VHF and UHF bands by a log-periodic dipole array (LPDA). A network analyzer is used to measure the voltage induced at one end of the line. The measured signal is compared to the predictions of a moment method numerical analysis, using the NEC code. The measured and predicted coupling are in reasonable agreement only once two measurement precautions are taken. First, the illuminating antenna has to be well-balanced to suppress common mode radiation from the coaxial cable connecting the transmitter to the antenna. Second, an output balun must be inserted between the unshielded transmission line and the coaxial cable to the network analyzer. This is needed to prevent common mode signals on the coaxial cable from contaminating the measurements. Besides these practical steps, it is also necessary to use physical insight and high frequency circuit theory to develop a good equivalent circuit of the output balun for use in the computational model     

A Model for Currents and Voltages Induced Within Long Transmission Cables by an Electromagnetic Wave

A model is presented for determining the transient currents and voltages induced within a long coaxial cable by a uniform plane traveling wave whose variation with time may be specified. The cable may be located above or within a half-space lossy dielectric with the wave incident from the half-space lossless dielectric. This results in a model for either aerial or buried cables with the source of the wave located in the atmosphere. A method is also presented for generalizing the approach to more complex cables encountered in communication systems. A demonstration of the applicability of this model is presented by analyzing the response of a 0.375-in coaxial cable for both aerial and buried situations. An incident electromagnetic wave with a rectangular time domain waveform is used to demonstrate the transient response. This waveshape is adequate to clearly indicate the transient phenomena. It is found that voltage enhancement results in both aerial and buried cables when the incident wave approaches grazing incidence. This voltage enhancement can be significant especially for aerial cables. Cable shield current enhancement also results for an aerial but not for a buried cable.     

A simple feed model that reduces time steps needed for FDTD antennaand microstrip calculations

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is being widely applied to antenna and microstrip calculations. One aspect of this application is accurately and efficiently modeling antenna and microstrip feeds within the constraints of the FDTD approximations. Several relatively straightforward approaches have been suggested, including gap and frill feeds. More complicated approaches, which involve including the coaxial feed cable in the FDTD calculation space, have also been suggested. A related aspect is the desirability of reducing the number of time steps required for the FDTD calculations to converge, especially for transient excitation. We illustrate that for many geometries a simple gap model with an internal source resistance provides accurate results while greatly reducing the number of time steps required for convergence

Two rectangular loops fed in series for broadband circular polarization and impedance matching

Two rectangular wire loops above an infinite ground plane are investigated for broadband circular polarization and impedance matching. Each rectangular loop is connected to each end of a short dipole fed by a coaxial cable through the ground plane. One gap on each loop is introduced to get circular polarization and the gap position controls the sense of circular polarization. The position of the gap, the length of the short dipole, the height of the loop above the ground plane and the shape of the rectangle are very important to get a good axial ratio (AR) and voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR). The AR bandwidth (/spl les/3 dB) and the VSWR bandwidth (/spl les/2) are 18% and 22%, respectively. The measured and computed results are in good agreement.
