On the numerical computation of cylindrical conductor internal impedance for complex arguments of large magnitude

Abstract

In this paper a numerical algorithm for computation of per-unit-length internal impedance of cylindrical conductors under complex arguments of large magnitude is presented. The presented algorithm either numerically solves the scaled exact formula for internal impedance or employs asymptotic approximations of modified Bessel functions when applicable. The formulas presented can be used for computation of per-unit-length internal impedance of solid cylindrical conductors as well as tubular cylindrical conductors.
