Simulation of mode division multiplex transmission method in shielded four-wire cable

A mode division multiplex transmission system that assigns signals to the eigenmodes of a transmission line was proposed for a cable that is uniform in the longitudinal direction. The transmission characteristics when the proposed method is used in a 1m long shielded untwisted 4-wire cable were verified by circuit simulation. It is shown that the proposed method enables four-channel simultaneous transmission. In addition, the proposed method significantly improves the crosstalk compared to the differential and single-ended transmission methods.
