Further Experimental Verification of Frequency-Domain Multiconductor-Transmission-Line Characterization

This correspondence alludes to two recent publications [1], [2] which developed techniques for frequency-domain characterization of multiconductor transmission lines. Theoretical aspects of [1], although quite general, had been verified only for a symmetrical three-conductor cable. The present paper considers unsymmetrical three-wire, four-wire, and five-wire multiconductor cables and shows that measured values of [2] do agree with the calculated parameters within the uncertainties of experimental factors, such as voltage and current-probe loading, etc. Excellent agreement of theoretical and experimental data permits simulation of fairly complex problems involving generalized multiconductor transmission lines.
