Säntis Lightning Research Facility Instrumentation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Mario Paolone, David Smith, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Antonio Sunjerga

The Säntis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 to measure currents of lightning discharges striking the tower. Since then the system has been recurrently updated and expanded. Currently, data associated with lightning strikes to the tower are collected at f ...

Application of the Cascaded Transmission Line Theory of Paul and McKnight to the Evaluation of NEXT and FEXT in Twisted Wire Pair Bundles

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero, Nicolas Mora Parra

The cascaded transmission line theory of Paul and McKnight is used in this paper to predict near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and far-end crosstalk (FEXT) in a bundle of twisted wire pairs. The approach is validated using the CST Cable Studio commercial software a ...

A physical interpretation of the equal area rule

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein

This paper presents a derivation and a physical interpretation of the equal area rule (EAR) for wire-grid simulation of surfaces. We propose a new procedure that leads to a formulation for obtaining the radii for an arbitrarily meshed surface. A simple com ...

On the use of the equal area rule for the wire-grid representation of metallic surfaces

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein

This paper presents a brief theoretical discussion on the issue of the wire-grid representation of surfaces using the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC). Different approaches for the determination of the parameters (in particular, the segment radii) of ...
