Transmission characteristics of a TEM waveguide for transient signals by the use of a damped sinusoidal

N. Briest, H. Garbe, and S. Potthast

Abstract. This article broaches the issue of the propagation of transient signals in gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cells. As a representative for transient signals a damped sinusoidal (DS) is used with three different mid-band frequencies. The signal transmission of the DS in the GTEM1250 is qualified and discussed on the basis of the Pearson correlation coefficient (Pcc). The Pcc gives an overview of the signal transmission quality for all measuring points within the testvolume and signal distortions can be identified. A 100 MHz DS is weakly distorted in several measuring points. The Pcc at those points decreases and a signal shape variance can be assumed. Furthermore inhomogeneities of the GTEM1250 caused by the cell door can be identified.
