Ellipticus CW Illumination System
Abstract
The Ellipticus Illuminator is a CW counterpart to the ATHAMAS II (Horizontally Polarized Dipole or HPD) electromagnetic pulse (EMP) Simulator. As such, it is designed to be used as an aid in evaluating the EMP shielding on aircraft and other test objects and used as a hardness maintenance/hardness surveillance (HM/HS) tool during the system's lifetime. This paper describes the design, construction, and electromagnetic properties of the Ellipticus Illuminator and shows some limited comparisons of measurements made in both pulse and CW simulators.
