Comments on "A SPICE model for multiconductor transmission lines excited by an incident electromagnetic field" [with reply]

In a recent paper, C.R. Paul (see ibid., vol.36, p.342, 1994) discusses the concept of using the SPICE circuit analysis code for simulating field-to-wire coupling. He may not be aware that similar work has already been undertaken. A paper by Broyde et al. (1991) appears to be the first published implementation of this idea. The present comments on Paul´s mostly theoretical paper emphasize some practical aspects of the simulation of EMC problems using a SPICE simulation program when multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) models are implemented. C.R. Paul responds to the comments.
