Parallel-Plate Transmission Line Type of EMP Simulators: Systematic Review and Recommendations

摘要

This report presents various aspects of the two-parallel-plate transmission line type of EMP simulator. Much of the work is the result of research efforts conducted during the last two decades at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, and in industries/universities as well. The principal features of individual simulator components are discussed. The report also emphasizes that it is imperative to hybridize our understanding of individual components so that we can draw meaningful conclusions of simulator performance as a whole.
