Pulsed electromagnetic field coupling to a transmission line with arbitrary loads—A unified methodology based on reciprocity

A unified description of the time-domain (TD) electromagnetic (EM) field coupling to a transmission line (TL) that is terminated by arbitrary linear time-invariant loads is presented. Closed-form expressions for the electric current induced in the loads are derived with the aid of the EM reciprocity theorem of the time-convolution type. The validity of the solution is demonstrated via illustrative numerical examples.
