Electromagnetic coupling between transmitters and electro-explosive devices located within an enclosure.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/984132· OSTI ID:984132

This report documents calculations conducted to determine if 42 low-power transmitters located within a metallic enclosure can initiate electro-explosive devices (EED) located within the same enclosure. This analysis was performed for a generic EED no-fire power level of 250 mW. The calculations show that if the transmitters are incoherent, the power available is 32 mW - approximately one-eighth of the assumed level even with several worst-case assumptions in place.
