Description
Summary:This paper presents a unified description of a new approach for contactless detection, identification, and diagnostics of electrical connections and describes an idea and principles of using modal probing for these tasks. Simulation and experimental results on pulsed signal propagation through flat cables demonstrate the modal decomposition of a pulsed signal, which varies depending on the state of the probed wire. It is shown that the presented tasks can be solved by modal probing. The article also considers the analysis of modal distortions in frequency domain and gives the formula for its practical use. This formula can be useful when the pulse duration time is longer than the minimum of mode delay difference. In conclusion, we present further development ideas of the modal probing.
