Study on Design Method of Broadband Coaxial Arrester
Broadband coaxial arrester are widely used in protecting communication equipments from lightning strikes
through which lightning electromagnetic pulse(LEMP) is short-circuited to earth
but the communication signals can pass it without any loss.Geometric parameters is the most important factor which influence SPD’s electrical properties.If geometric parameters derived from impedance matching of coaxial transmission line(TLs) are used directly in the modeling for HFSS simulation software
the simulating results of voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) from HFSS are not good
or even incorrect.Some researches on how can the transmission line method and HFSS method combine together to give the expected VSWR are made.It indicates that the length of the short-circuited quarter wave coaxial line must be lengthened appropriately
then the parameters can be used in the modeling process of HFSS
and the expected VSWR designed for transmission line method can be given from HFSS simulating.The reasons of why the two methods can not give the same simulating results are analyzed
and the junction effect of the T structure may be the most important reason.
