Contents

Propagation parameters of cascaded multiconductor transmission structures can be easily determined when the chain is strictly periodic. If periodicity is somehow perturbed, which is usually the real case, the evaluation of the chain propagation parameters becomes very complex, especially when the number of cascaded sections is large. To handle this situation we propose an approach based on a standard first order perturbation method allowing a simple relationship to be found between the chain parameters and those characterizing its component cells. The method is first developed for general 2n-port networks and later particularized for the special case of two-port transmission-line systems. Graphs with numerical results are presented allowing the accuracy of the method to be checked.

Übersicht

Die Berechnung der Wellenparameter von Ketten aus Mehrleiter-Übertragungsystemen bietet keine Schwierigkeit im Fall streng periodischer Ketten. Wird die Periodizität gestört, wie es in der Praxis häufig vorkommt, so wird die Berechnung sehr mühsam, besonders dann, wenn die Kette viele Glieder enthält. Um diese Schwierigkeit zu überwinden, schlagen wir die Anwendung einer gewöhnlichen Störungsmethode erster Ordnung vor, die es gestattet, eine einfache Beziehung zwischen den Wellenparametern der Kette und den Wellenparametern der einzelnen Glieder zu gewinnen.

Die Methode wird zuerst für allgemeine 2n-Tore entwickelt und danach auf den Sonderfall der Zweitor-übertragungssysteme angewandt.

Die Genauigkeit des Verfahrens läßt sich aus der graphischen Darstellungen numerischer Ergebnisse ablesen.
