Gray, R F

An approximate analytical technique is developed for the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) response of a complex system of cables deployed over a real earth. The technique involves an existing transmission-line solution for the EMP response of a cable which is extended to a system of interconnected but uncoupled cables by the principle of superposition. The complete response of one particular cable is found by replacing all the other cables connected to it with equivalent Thevenin sources. The response of the cable due to the EMP and the equivalent sources are then summed. The equivalent Thevenin sources are developed from the existing transmission-line solution for the EMP response of a single cable. Experimental verification of the applicability of the superposition principle to transmission lines is also given.
