An Investigation of Portable Electromagnetic Pulse Simulators/Alternate Simulators.

Abstract

A theory is developed which defines the technical objectives for portable EMP simulator experiments and calculations. It is shown that under certain conditions, a configuration of portable sources need only excite a prescribed external interaction response on a class of systems. Under these conditions, the source configuration will excite the same electrical quantities within the system as would an EMP. Considerable attention is devoted to the demonstration that these conditions must include on accounting for the external environment to the system under test as well as the degree of electromagnetic ridigity of the portable sources. Finally, calculations that were chosen to address the plausibility of achieving the described external interaction objectives are presented and interpreted according to the required conditions.
