Interaction Between a Parallel-Plate EMP Simulator and a Cylindrical Test Object.

Abstract

The interaction between a bounded-wave EMP simulator and a test object is studied with a geometrical model. The model consists of a finite, open-ended cylinder inside a parallel-plate waveguide. The interaction problem is formulated exactly by means of an integrodifferential equation, which is subsequently reduced to a matrix equation. An approximate analytical solution of the matrix equation is obtained. The singularities of the solution in the complex-frequency plane are investigated. The effects of the simulator/test-object interaction on the pole singularities are numerically evaluated.
