HPM Effects: Electromagnetic Coupling to Enclosures
Abstract
The research will be used to validate and extend theoretical approaches to understanding how electronics inside complex enclosures are affected by electromagnetic radiation introduced from outside, or inside. These experiments will establish a new science for practical directed-energy counter-measures. Our experiments and associated modeling can also quantify damage done by electromagnetic interference on electronic circuits and systems. We will perform experiments on scaled systems that are otherwise impractical to study at full scale in a university laboratory setting. The quantitative predictions of our Random Coupling Model for the effects of short-wavelength radiation on electronics will be carefully tested with real-world experiments, and this will establish new state-of-the-art capabilities for DoD. The research work is being carried out in collaboration with the High Power Microwave Section of the Tactical Electronic Warfare Division at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC.
