ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING TO ORDNANCE SYSTEMS

Abstract

Experimental and analytical procedures are presented for the measurement and analysis of transmission of energy from electromagnetic radiators to electrically initiated devices of ordnance systems. Several methods of analysis are presented which are applicable to the transmission of energy along electric circuits from the exterior to the interior of the ordnance device. A method is also presented which applies to the direct entry of electromagnetic wave energy into the interior of a missile through openings in the missile body, such as arming hatches, radomes, and others. A section is included which gives the magnitude of the sum of the radiation and quadrature components of the electric field produced by vertical radiators in a form which is especially useful for computing the hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance (HERO).
