Simulation and modeling-simulating crosstalk and field to wire coupling with a SPICE simulator

The simulation of two electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems, namely crosstalk and field-to-wire coupling, using SPICE are described. These modeling techniques for simulation of EMC of multiconductor transmission lines allow calculation in the time domain, as well as the frequency domain. Nonlinearities, protective devices, and even complex circuitry can be included at both ends of the transmission line. Disturbing voltages can also be studied at any node in a susceptor network. The techniques also offer the possibility of including arbitrary sources of radiated disturbances, which could allow the simulation of aperture coupling in an enclosure.<<ETX>>
