ABSTRACT
Here, the authors shall recapitulate and summarize the processes necessary to estimate the current that a cable inside a leaky, externally illuminated, overmoded enclosure may be expected to carry. To be more precise, they shall indicate the method for determining the cumulative probability distribution (cpd) of such a current squared. The first requirement is to obtain the mean power-flux density (or the standard deviation) inside the enclosure. For ideal overmoded conditions, this power-flux density will be isotropic, at least if one is a wavelength or more away from conducting walls. Specifically, the authors are then interested in the power-flux density projected normally to any area differential. At this point, it becomes necessary to create the ensembles of electric-field values, which they subsequently apply to the cable model to predict the cable-current distributions.
