Propagation and Responses of EMP on Transmission-line networks

This paper discusses the use of Baum-Liu-Tesche (BLT) equation for analyzing and calculating the propagation and load responses of transmission-line networks in frequency domain and time domain. The derivation and each parameters of BLT equation is introduced, and using BLT equation, two examples of specific coaxial cable networks are established, and the propagation and responses of networks are analyzed and calculated. The responses of networks terminals are measurement, and calculation results and measurement results are compared. The results show the excellent agreement between measurement and calculation results. The study results of this paper can be used for cable networks design and protection against EMP.
