Simulation of High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) above Sea Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) radiated from both primary and secondary currents, which are induced by a nuclear explosion, is computed by using the Jefimenko’s equation. The effects of geomagnetic field is considered in computing the primary current, and the rough sea surface is considered in computing the reflected electric field in the frequency domain. The waveforms of HEMP near sea surface and a few km above it are simulated. The impulse and pulse characteristics are discussed, as well as the variation of peak field magnitude when the observation point is moved away from beneath the burst point.

Research on fast rise time EMP radiating-wave simulator
This paper presents an antenna of High altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) radiating-wave simulator which expands the testing zone larger than the traditional transmission line simulator. The numerical results show that traverse electramagnetic (TEM) antenna can be used to radiate HEMP simulation radiating wave, but in low frequency band the emissive capability is poor. The experiment proves ...
متن کاملRisetime Evolution in HEMP (High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse) E1Waveforms - Technology and Standards
There are many different definitions of the risetime of a transient waveform. In the context of HEMP standards, the 10-90% risetime of an idealized double exponential waveform has been defined and used for many decades. However, such a risetime definition is not strictly applicable to the transient voltage out of a pulse generator, since no practical switch can close in zero time. In this paper...
متن کاملA Numerical Simulation of Inspiratory Airflow in Human Airways during Exercise at Sea Level and at High Altitude
At high altitudes, the air pressure is much lower than it is at sea level and contains fewer oxygen molecules and less oxygen is taken in at each breath. This requires deeper and rapid breathing to get the same amount of oxygen into the blood stream compared to breathing in air at sea level. Exercises increase the oxygen demand and make breathing more difficult at high altitude. In this study, ...
متن کاملA Modified Description of Early Time High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse Waveform (E1)
The mathematical description of High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) waveform (E1) in the standard of IEC 61000-2-9 is the difference of double exponentials (DEXP). However, in this description there is a discontinuity of the first derivative at the initial time of waveform. Another analytic waveform description, the quotient of double exponentials (QEXP) has the advantage of all time der...

The article discusses a way to improve the survivability of the power system affected by the High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) through establishment of inventory of electronic equipment replacement modules, particularly those of digital protective relays. It is shown that the known methods of spare parts quantity optimization cannot be used in this case. Thus, another method is offered...
