Abstract

This work derives exact expressions for the voltage and current induced into a two conductors non-isolated transmission line by an incident plane wave. The methodology is to use the transmission line radiating properties to derive scattering matrices and make use of reciprocity to derive the response to the incident wave. This methodology to derive receiving characteristics from the radiation properties via a scattering matrix is novel, and we already started to implement it to additional cases. An immediate advantage we obtained from this method is the derivation of a very simple analytic expression for the voltage and current for a matched transmission line. The analysis is in the frequency domain, and it considers transmission lines of any small electric cross section, incident by a plane wave from any direction and polarization. The analytic results are validated by successful comparison with ANSYS commercial software simulation results, and compatible with other published results.
