The Design, Construction, Performance and Calibration of Pulse Generators to Fulfill the Requirements of Specifications Defense Standard 59-41, FS(F)510 and FS(F)457

Abstract

This Memorandum describes the construction, performance and calibration of pulse generators to fulfill the electromagnetic transient test requirements of the Defence Standard 59-41 (June 1986), RAE Technical Memorandum FS (F) 510 and FS (F) 457 (Issue 2). Three pulse generators are described, Type 1A which produces damped sinusoidal waveforms in the frequency range 2 to 30MHz, Type 2 which is fixed frequency 100kHz generator, and Type 3 which produces two waveforms for ground voltage lightning effects simulation. The generators have been designed to enable electronic systems to be assessed for immunity to the effects of EMC, LEMP and NEMP. The NEMP capabilities of the Type 1A generator meet the Airside requirements of the Defence Standard. Great Britain.
