Analysis of transmission line loaded with BCI probe using circuit concept approach

Abstract

Bulk current injection (BCI) test is adopted as an immunity testing method for automotive electronic equipment. In this letter, an analytical method for obtaining the terminal output of the transmission line excited by using the BCI probe is proposed. The test setup is analytically solved by using a circuit concept approach because it is considered to be a transmission line externally excited by an electromagnetic field. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, a single-ended transmission line loaded with the BCI probe is considered as an example. The comparison with the analytical solution and our experimental results shows a good agreement.
