Statistical Analysis of Critical Load Excitations Induced on a Random Cable System by an Incident Driving Field: Basic Concepts and Methodology

: Electromagnetic pulse internal interaction analysis is complicated by the presence of many seemingly random parameters which preclude the strictly deterministic solution for induced excitations at particular load points. This report briefly discusses a possible technique for the statistical analysis of load excitations on an unshielded N-wire random cable illuminated by an incident time-harmonic field using the reciprocity theorem in conjunction with subset representation of a statistical ensemble.
