Abstract :
The electromagnetic modeling of wave propagation along a semi-infinite wire with ground return is addressed. External excitation, via plane wave is considered. Both wire and ground plane are assumed to be perfect conductors. Through a spectral approach, a one-port Thevenin model of the structure, valid for any distance between wire and ground, is developed. Such a model allows to evaluate rigorously the limits and the accuracy of the transmission line (TL) equations
