EMP Surge Suppression Devices Utilizing Metal Oxide Varistors for High Frequency Applications.

Abstract

This report summarizes the analytical and experimental work performed in developing a surge suppression assembly for high frequency applications utilizing metal oxide varistor materials. The goal of this effort was the development of a terminal protection unit for EMP protection whose insertion losses for normal signal conditons do not exceed 1 db for signal frequencies up to 100 MHz. The development of the desired terminal protection unit was investigated using the varistor material in two broad circuit configurations; these being distributed parameter and lumped parameter configurations.
