A Guide to the Electromagnetic Pulse Hardening of Open-Wire Systems to the Exoatmospheric Army Threat Environment.

Abstract

A theoretical study of EMP response is presented for a family of open-wire systems. The goal is to provide the designer with an understanding of the performance of a number of hardening techniques. The hardening designs encompass both linear filter networks and filter-nonlinear component circuits. The results presented are a distillation of data from approximately 350 response curves. Although necessity demands a severe restriction in the number of permissible variables, the data are sufficiently information to impart to the EMP systems designer an understanding of the level of effort necessary to harden an open-wire system.
