Abstract

The paper discusses the results of quasi-static simulation of two modal filter (MF) cascade configurations designed to attenuate an interference pulse in differential and common modes. The geometric parameters of the MF are optimized by heuristic search according to the amplitude minimization condition. The results of calculating the time responses to an ultrashort pulse (USP) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) are presented. The USP attenuation coefficient in the differential mode was 6.84 times for the horizontally placed cascades, and 6.94 times for the vertical configuration. In the common mode, the attenuation coefficient was 7.35 times for the horizontally placed cascades, and 7.57 times for the vertically placed cascades. For ESD, the attenuation coefficients were 1.51 times for the horizontally and 1.55 times for the vertically placed cascades in the differential and common modes. It was found that only the first spike is attenuated by the ESD excitation on the MF
