Design of a TEM Cell EMP Simulator
Abstract
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Simulators are designed to simulate the EMP generated by a nuclear weapon and, subsequently, are used to harden equipment against the effects of EMP. This report concerns the design of a small, symmetric, co-axial type of EMP Simulator intended primarily for R and D purposes such as; calibration of sensors, precision measurement, design and testing of transient suppression devices etc. A detailed design is given for a 50 Ohm and 100 Ohm Transverse Electromagnetic cell with a inner volume of l x w x h = 2m x 2m x 1m and a test volume of l x w x h = 2m x 0.3m x 0.4m. The pulse generator and terminating network are integrated into the TEM cell to form a completely shielded structure. In this way no interference from the inside of the cell to the outside, or vis versa, will occur.
