New differential-mode-source cable bundle crosstalk model based on multiconductor transmission lines theory

Abstract

The traditional cable bundle crosstalk model is established based on an intra-system common mode source, without considering the crosstalk of cable bundles stimulated by a differential-mode source between different systems. To solve the physical problem of crosstalk between independent circuit cable bundles which is stimulated by a differential-mode source, in this article we propose a new differential-mode source cable bundle crosstalk calculation method based on the multiconductor transmission line theory. According to the mechanism of the differential-mode-stimulated transmission line coupling, using this method we obtain a new three-conductor transmission line parasitic parameter circuit model and mathematic matrix model through using the transmission line propagating transverse electro magnetic mode. We deduce the parasitic parameter calculation formula by an image method and Neumann formula, and then obtain the new cable bundle crosstalk chain parameter array equations in frequency domain. By using the top and end boundary conditions of the new differential-mode cable bundle crosstalk model, we finally work out the crosstalk voltage in frequency domain. In this article, we take the crosstalk between differential-mode parallel double culprit cables and the victim cable from other independent circuit for example. By simulating the crosstalk voltage of victim cable in different position arrangements, we obtain the crosstalk physical law between cable bundles under the differential-mode source condition, that is, the crosstalk of the victim cable located between differential-mode circuits is much larger than that situated outside the differential-mode circuit. We can also verify that this model can be used to calculate the crosstalk caused by differential-mode source at different frequencies. In this article, we analytically calculate the crosstalk problems caused by differential-mode source cable bundles for the first time, which provides theoretical basis for solving some practical electromagnetic compatibility problems such as the bundling of a large quantity of wires and the predicting of cable bundle crosstalk. Therefore it perfects the application of multiconductor transmission line model to cable bundle crosstalk problem, and has strong guiding significance.
