Transmission Line Theories for the Analysis of Electromagnetic Transients in Coil Windings

The chapter contains the basic theory of a distributed-parameter circuit for a single overhead conductor and for a multi-conductor system, which corresponds to a three-phase transmission line and a transformer winding. Starting from a partial differential equation of a single conductor, solutions of a voltage and a current on the conductor are derived as a function of the distance from the sending end. The characteristics of the voltage and the current are explained, and the propagation constant (attenuation and propagation velocity) and the characteristic impedance are described. For a multi-conductor system, a modal theory is introduced, and it is shown that the multi-conductor system is handled as a combination of independent single conductors. Finally, a modeling method of a coil is explained by applying the theories described in the chapter.

QUANTUM FLUCTUATION IN THERMAL VACUUM STATE FOR MESOSCOPIC DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER CIRCUITS

In this paper we consider a non-dissipative distributed parameter circuit at a finite temperature T. We find the unitary operator for diagonalizing the Hamiltonian of the uniform periodic transmission line. The unitary operator is expressed in a coordinate representation. Thermal field dynamic is used in our discussion. It is shown that distributing parameter circuits and quantum fluctuations, which also have distributing properties, are related to both the circuit parameters and the positions and the model of signals and temperature T. The higher the temperature, the more quantum noise the circuit exhibits. The research will be helpful to miniaturize intergreate circuits and electric components. It will be also significant for the futher study of the qualitities of mesoscopic system.
