A New Simplification Scheme for Crosstalk Prediction of Complex Cable Bundles Within a Cylindrical Cavity

In this letter, a new simplification scheme is proposed to extend the “equivalent cable bundle method” (ECBM) for modeling electromagnetic crosstalk of complex cable bundles within a cylindrical cavity. Anew six-step procedure is established to define the electrical and geometric characteristics of the reduced cable bundle model in the cylindrical cavity which is considered as the ground return. Numerical simulations performed on a simple cable bundle illustrate the efficiency and the advantages of the method. This study is a further step of the original ECBM and can find wide applications in a realistic environment.
