Säntis Lightning Research Facility Instrumentation

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

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

Marcos Rubinstein, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero, Nicolas Mora Parra, Abraham Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory

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 system for the measurements of lightning currents at the Säntis Tower

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Wolfgang Schulz, Pierre Zweiacker, Abraham Rubinstein

The paper presents the characteristics of a system suitably developed to measure lightning current waveforms on the Santis Tower in Switzerland. The paper first describes the configuration of the system then presents the characteristics of the measurement ...

Preliminary Comparison of Data from the Säntis Tower and the EUCLID Lightning Location System

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero, Wolfgang Schulz, Carlo Alberto Nucci, Abraham Rubinstein

In this paper, direct lightning current measurements obtained on the Sntis Tower from June 1st, 2010 to May 31st, 2011 are used to evaluate the ability of the EUCLID lightning detection network to detect this type of lightning triggered by a tall tower in ...

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

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 ...

2006

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 ...

Inclusion of an automatic adaptive sampling method in NEC

Abraham Rubinstein

As sampling is taking place, the most active regions of the spectrum can be identified (i.e. the vicinity of spectral peaks). By selectively increasing the spectral density within those regions improves the quality of the total spectral representation redu ...

On wire-grid representation of solid metallic surfaces

Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein

This paper deals with the wire-grid representation of metallic surfaces in numerical electromagnetic modeling. We discuss in particular the adequacy of the well known and widely used equal area rule (EAR) to calculate the radii of wire-grid models. We show ...

Simulation of electrically large structures in EMC studies

Abraham Rubinstein

The aim of this thesis is the study of the simulation of electrically large structures and the application of the results to automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). The theoretical and experimental work carried out has led to the development of com ...

A parallel implementation of NEC for the analysis of large structures

Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein

We present a new, parallel version of the numerical electromagnetics code (NEC). The parallelization is based on a bidimensional block-cyclic distribution of matrices on a rectangular processor grid, assuring a theoretically optimal load balance among the ...
