Abstract :
A method of moments procedure to obtain the capacitance matrix for a cable harness is presented. The geometry consists of multiple, parallel, insulated wires, possibly above a ground plane. The method uses Fourier harmonic expansion functions for the total charge and Galerkin testing functions. The capacitance matrix is obtained by the relationship of free charge to potential. Computed and experimental results are presented and compared to exact analytical solutions when possible
