THE EFFECTS OF RF ENERGY OF THE XM 6 AND XM8 EBW SQUIBS
Abstract
The XM6 and XM8 exploding bridgewire squibs were tested to determine their susceptibility to radio frequency energy. In the course of the tests, both types of squibs were fired with RF energy, using an impedance matching network to effect efficient transfer of power through a transmission line. No firings were obtained where the power was broadcast. As expected, the energy levels required for initiation were much higher than that required for conventional squibs.
