Abstract
This paper presents a new method for the calculation of smooth frequency-dependent transmission-line (TL) transformation matrices. The proposed method, based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, solves an equivalent real-valued approach of the generalized complex eigenproblem. The implemented formulation incorporates a robust convergence criterion and is applicable to all TL configurations, due to the included numerically well-defined computational scheme. Smooth modal transformation matrices are calculated for overhead and underground TL configurations under different representations of the imperfect earth. Results are compared and validated with the corresponding results obtained from the Newton-Raphson and the sequential quadratic programming methods, revealing the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of the proposed formulation, even in cases where the other methods fail.
