Theory of EMP Coupling in the Source Region

Abstract

This report presents methods, primarily analytical, for calculating the coupling of EMP to systems in the source region. The first chapter discusses Maxwell's equations and units. The second chapter presents an adequate model for the impedance of soils, and discusses causality and reality conditions on solutions in the domain of complex variables. The third chapter is a survey of EMP sources and fields for surface bursts. The remaining chapters discuss coupling to short buried conductors, long buried conductors, short vertical conductors in the air, and long elevated conductors. (Author)
