Relativistic Doppler effect in an extending transmission line: Application to lightning

A Shoory, F Rachidi… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We present in this paper a thorough analysis of current wave propagation with arbitrary
speed along an extending transmission line. We derive rigorous analytical equations in the …

Lightning strikes to tall objects: A study of wave interactions at the return‐stroke front using a nonlinear transmission line model

A De Conti, FH Silveira… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
A theoretical study is presented to investigate lightning strikes to towers, with focus on wave
interactions occurring at the return‐stroke front due to the arrival of current pulses that …

Propagation of short current pulses on a transmission line with nonlinear resistance

A De Conti - … Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA), 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents a study of the propagation of short current pulses on a uniform
transmission line considering nonlinear losses. Two cases are considered. One of them …

Lightning strikes to towers: An attempt to identify the effect of the channel resistance on wave interactions at the return-stroke front

A De Conti - 2016 33rd International Conference on Lightning …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents an attempt to identify the influence of the channel resistance on return-
stroke current propagation resulting from a lightning strike to a tall object such as a metallic …
