Shielding effectiveness of `pigtail' connections Hejase, H.A.N.; Adams, A.T.; harrington, R.F.; Sarkar, T.K.; Electromagnetic Compatibility, IEEE Transactions on Volume 31, Issue 1, Feb. 1989 Page(s):63 - 68 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/15.19908 Summary: The shielding effectiveness of a `pigtail' connection between a coaxial transmission line and a ground plane is treated rigorously by the method of moments, as a function of the type and number of pigtails and frequency. Numerical results show that 2. A quasi-static technique for evaluation of pigtail connections Hejase, H.A.N.; Adams, A.T.; Harrington, R.F.; Electromagnetic Compatibility, IEEE Transactions on Volume 31, Issue 2, May 1989 Page(s):180 - 183 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/15.18787 Summary: It is shown that the analysis of `pigtail' connections between a transmission line and a ground plane can be simplified by dividing the problem into two parts: the radiating transmission line and the pigtail loop. The problem need be solved only once..... 3. Radiation properties of a pigtail-terminated coaxial transmission line Hejase, H.A.N.; Electromagnetic Compatibility, IEEE Transactions on Volume 34, Issue 1, Feb. 1992 Page(s):23 - 27 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/15.121663 Summary: The method of moments is used to study the shielding effectiveness of a pigtail-terminated shielded wire (coaxial line) above a perfectly conducting ground plane. Numerical computations are performed in the RF frequency range, i.e. 25-1000 MHz. Pigta..... 5. A comparison of unshielded wire to shielded wire with shields terminated using pigtail and shields terminated through a conducting elastomer Santamaria, J.C.; Haller, L.J.; Electromagnetic Compatibility, 1995. Symposium Record. 1995 IEEE International Symposium on 14-18 Aug. 1995 Page(s):496 - 500 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ISEMC.1995.523608 Summary: Pigtails, the jumper wires used to terminate wire shields, are used extensively in military applications. The work presented in this paper shows that shielded wires with pigtail terminations using standard backshells are as susceptible to external el..... 8. Common mode radiation from shielded cables by pigtail effect Fang Han; Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium, 1992. AP-S. 1992 Digest. Held in Conjuction with: URSI Radio Science Meeting and Nuclear EMP Meeting., IEEE 18-25 July 1992 Page(s):1219 - 1222 vol.2 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/APS.1992.221670 Summary: The mechanism of the radiation from a shielded cable caused by the pigtail effect is studied. Usually, both differential mode and common mode current in the cable could produce radiation, but the latter is the dominant contributor. It is observed tha..... 9. A comparison of unshielded wire to shielded wire with shields terminated using pigtails Santamaria, J.C.; Louis, J.H.; Aerospace and Electronics Conference, 1994. NAECON 1994., Proceedings of the IEEE 1994 National 23-27 May 1994 Page(s):181 - 184 vol.1 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/NAECON.1994.332880 Summary: Pigtails, the jumper wires used to terminate wire shields, are used extensively in military applications. The work presented in this paper shows that shielded wires with pigtail terminations are as susceptible to external electromagnetic (EM) couplin..... 16. Radiated emission from shielded cables by pigtail effect Han, F.; Electromagnetic Compatibility, IEEE Transactions on Volume 34, Issue 3, Part 1, Aug. 1992 Page(s):345 - 348 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/15.155852 Summary: Theoretical analyses and experimental results are carried out on the common mode radiated emission from a shielded cable caused by pigtails. Calculations of the radiation are introduced on the basis of transmission line theory and antenna theory, and..... Perhaps this will jog your memory on where you saw the chart. Regards, Jacob Z.
