Calibration of C-130 Lightning Characterization Sensors.

Abstract

An analytical model for calculating transfer functions relating the C-130 lightning sensor responses to incident electromagnetic fields was developed. The model consists of two components; a low frequency non-resonant term and a frequency-dependent term including airframe resonances. The latter are calculated for the frequency range 1-10 MHz and compared with measured data. Recommendations for removing airframe resonances from the measured data are presented. (Author)
