Abstract

A statistical cable bundle model is developed to account for the random disturbance of the wire positions along hand-assembled cable bundles. The nonuniform random bundles are modeled as n-cascaded segments of a uniform multiconductor transmission line. At each section, all wire positions are disturbed with random numbers obeying a Gaussian distribution. In addition, a spline interpolation function is used to improve the continuity of wires winding along the bundle. The wire crosstalk and the common-mode (CM) current distribution along the bundle can be calculated with simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE)-like solvers. by injecting the CM current along the bundle into a full-wave tool, e.g., finite-difference time domain (FDTD), as impressed current sources, the system-level electromagnetic emissions from the cable bundles can be predicted. The model has been experimentally validated with a controlled laboratory setup.
