Transionospheric propagation calculations for the output of two EMP (electromagnetic pulse) simulators
The Los Alamos Transionospheric Propagation Code (TIPC) was used to calculate the transionospheric signals corresponding to the computed output of two electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulators, the NAVES II vertical polarization dipole and the TACAMO horizontal polarization dipole. The EMP calculations used as input to TIPC were performed by Mission Research Corporation. The 1986 International Reference Ionosphere code was used to generate vertical profiles of electron density over a twenty-four hour period for the geographical location of the NAVES II EMP simulator and for a solar content, used as input to TIPC, was calculated from the electron density profiles by integrating along a given line of sight. The maximum root mean square power densities to be expected in each of eight broadband receivers with bandwidths of 5 and 20 MHz centered at 200, 120, 80, and 40 MHx are presented. 5 refs., 20 figs., 1 tab.
