Simulations of electromagnetic field coupling to transmission lines using FEKO and SuzANA codes

The paper deals with FEKO and SuzANA simulations of time-harmonic and transient phenomena on transmission lines above perfectly conductive ground plane and real ground plane, respectively. The influence of transmission line length, height above ground and ground electrical parameters to transmission line transient response have been analyzed throughout these simulations. Time harmonic and transient currents on transmission lines have been computed for the case of unit plane wave and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) excitations.
