of orders of magnitude smaller than $R^{Ohm}$. As for the radiation pattern of the power line cables, it is influenced by the load at the end of the line. When we consider a PLN, the load can be a line termination or the equivalent network impedance at a branch node. A matched load causes the propagation of the sole $I_f$ as a traveling wave. In this case most of the radiation is directed to the forward direction, with a main lobe pointing to an angle $\Theta$ over the $I_f$ propagation axis. For longer cables, $\Theta$ and the amplitude of the main lobe tend to decrease and increase respectively. In the case of unmatched loads, both $I_f$ and $I_b$ propagate and their radiation effects sum up. Hence, two main lobes are created in the forward and backward directions, their amplitude being proportional to the square of the forward and reverse currents respectively.

The results presented in this section extend to TL with finite length L what has already been pointed out for infinitesimal dipoles in [@7570770]: even CM currents with much lower magnitude than DM currents can produce a similar or even greater radiation. Moreover, any CM current traveling along a
