Experimental verification of predicted electromagnetic fields radiated by straight interconnect cables carrying high-frequency currents

This paper provides an experimental verification of analytical expressions for predicting radiated electromagnetic fields from straight interconnect cables carrying high-frequency currents. These analytical expressions are derived through two different models. The former model is based on the assumption that a radiating two-wire transmission line can be considered as two Hertzian dipoles, while in the latter one each radiating wire is treated as a chain of short radiating dipoles. The radiated field is calculated and measured at selected locations and the results are compared in order to verify the agreement among them. Different configurations (two parallel cables at various distances from a conducting ground plane) are considered.
