Measurement of Scaled-Down High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) Waveforms.

Abstract

If one desires to scale down a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse waveform to illuminate and measure the response of a physically scaled version of an Army tactical system, he is confronted with the problems of how to measure the radiated pulse, what the limitations of existing field sensors are, and what new sensors are required. This report discusses the techniques used by the Harry Diamond Laboratories to adequately describe the early time of the radiated fields in the scale modeling facility. (Author)
