Emp simulator - site interaction. Final report 1 March--31 October 76

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5852917
EMP simulators interact with test objects and subsequently do not provide a test excitation environment that equals that of the threat EMP. This study compares the excitation from a horizontal simulator (TEMPS) to that from a horizontal EMP (HEMP). This comparison is made on a geometric scale model of an idealized communications facility. TEMPS is shown to be able to excite the facility and its external penetrations at threat-like levels, but cannot duplicate threat excitations. By analyzing a site for its critical penetration-to-critical-circuit coupling paths, often a TEMPS position can be found that will excite the site to threat-like levels.
