Analytical models and estimations for a meander line turn protecting against an ultrawide band pulse

The paper presents analytical models for calculating the response to a pulse excitation in a turn of a meander line. One of the models was used to derive a condition for equalizing the voltage amplitudes for three pulses at the end of the turn which has different per-unit-length delays of even and odd modes. The obtained models and equalization condition were validated by quasistatic simulation. The results will allow for accelerated design and optimization of this type of structures for protection against ultrawide band pulses without costly multivariate analysis and calculation of response
