Models for Elemental Modeling

Abstract

We present the results of research into constructing analytical and/or computational models for predicting the probability-of-effect (Pe) associated with high power RF (HPRF) radiation impinging upon digital electronic equipment. Our initial efforts are focused upon those pieces of equipment which serve as nodes in computer networks, such as computers, routers, and switches. We take the problem of predicting HPRF effects for such a system, and present an approach based on partitioning the complete model into a set of sub-models. For each sub-model, we present an analysis of existing computational and theoretical approaches, and how these might be applied and/or extended for the current problem. Finally, we investigate the problem of building predictive models for a microcontroller, as a simplified digital system (a computer on a chip), and present an initial model.
