Electromagnetic topology: investigations of nonuniform transmission line networks

The electromagnetic topology approach is often used to calculate the current or voltage that can appear on a transmission line network illuminated by a disturbing wave. However the lines are supposed to be parallel to a ground plane and, furthermore, the model has often been applied on canonical cases. A generalization of this formalism to treat nonuniform transmission lines is presented. Moreover, by treating a wiring installed inside a Transall airplane mockup, a comparison between theoretical and experimental results shows the validity and the interest of this approach
