Abstract

A novel conformal surface wave (CSW) exciter is introduced which can excite electromagnetic (EM) surface waves along unshielded power line cables non-intrusively. The CSW exciter is small, cost effective and can be easily placed on a power cable compared to conventional monopole type launchers or horn type launchers. Besides cable fault detection, the potential applications of the proposed exciter include broadband power line (BPL) communication and high frequency power transmission.
