Simulation of the EMP (electromagnetic pulse) from ESD (eletrostatic discharge)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5823629
Both bounded-wave and TEM-cell structures provide controlled, repeatable testing for ESD-generated EMP. Coaxial transmission line drivers are required for very fast rise times, but Marx generators and peaking capacitors can be used otherwise. The pulse parameters most important to simulate accurately are rise time, peak amplitude, and pulse energy. 4 refs., 5 figs.
