Abstract
This work presents a statistical model for the radiated susceptibility (RS) of an unshielded twisted-wire pair (TWP) running above ground, illuminated by a random electromagnetic field. The incident field is modeled as a superposition of elemental plane waves with random angular density, phase, and polarization. The statistical properties of both the differential-mode (DM) and the common-mode (CM) noise voltages induced across the terminal loads are derived and discussed.
