Development and Research of a Medium Vertical Dipole Electromagnetic Pulse Simulator

In this paper, the design of a self-developed EMP simulator with 5 m height and an inverted conducting mono-cone antenna cone half-angle 32° is introduced. The experimental region circular area 25 in diameter around vertex. Two feeding modes, feed-in over ground under ground, are realized by two different high-voltage pulse sources. It can be concluded through radiation field testing that waveform generated has rise time 2–3 ns half-width about ns, meeting specifications IEC61000-2-9 standard. Meanwhile, differences between engineering implementation its ideal structure during process lead to some distortion issues characteristics electromagnetic it generates. distribution methods, wire quantities, end processing resistive loading were studied, changes angles distances monitoring point analyzed. Based on measurement results, factors affect studied Through aforementioned work, comprehensive understanding performance, characteristics, affecting environment been obtained. On basis, parameters quantity, method, test position designed reconfirmed optimized. summary, work important reference significance for mastering development technology such simulators, their EMP-related assessments effect experiments future.
