Abstract

A transmission-line type of EMP simulator, consisting of two conductors with a central parallel plate region has been designed, fabricated and tested. It has been named SEMIRAMIS-I, which stands for Simulateur Electromagnetique a Impulsion Raide pour des Mesures Industrielles et Scientifiques. This simulator can be energized by either a CW or a transient pulse source. Testing was performed with ELGAL's EM-103 pulser (20 kV-100 kV, 7-9 ns risetime, 150 ns FWHM). The desired working volume is about 3 m long×1 m wide×1 m high. The initial design has been experimentally optimized. Measurements have been made of the simulated electromagnetic environment

Electromagnetic pulse

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also referred to as a transient electromagnetic disturbance (TED), is a brief burst of electromagnetic energy. The origin of an EMP can be natural or artificial, and can occur as an electromagnetic field, as an electric field, as a magnetic field, or as a conducted electric current. The electromagnetic interference caused by an EMP can disrupt communications and damage electronic equipment. An EMP such as a lightning strike can physically damage objects such as buildings and aircraft.

Transmission line

In electrical engineering, a transmission line is a specialized cable or other structure designed to conduct electromagnetic waves in a contained manner. The term applies when the conductors are long enough that the wave nature of the transmission must be taken into account. This applies especially to radio-frequency engineering because the short wavelengths mean that wave phenomena arise over very short distances (this can be as short as millimetres depending on frequency).

Electric power transmission

Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. The interconnected lines that facilitate this movement form a transmission network. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid.
