| ABSTRACT This paper is primarily concerned with modeling EMP propagation and coupling to determine the external electromagnetic fields about, and hence the induced voltages and currents in complicated systems such as aircrafts, missiles, satellites, vehicles, buildings etc., under the illumination of Nuclear EMP (NEMP) or Lightning EMP (LEMP). Based on the transmission line (telegrapher) equations, a numerical procedure is developed to determine the distributed voltages and currents induced along the transmission lines exposed to NEMP and LEMP electromagnetic fields. The proposed procedure is applied to predict the EMP interaction with practical configurations such as a combat vehicle, over head power lines and telecommunication cables. The induced voltages are calculated and compared favorably with the published results, and hence the accuracy of the proposed procedure is proven. Such accurate coupling model is necessary for application of vulnerability assessment and protection techniques. | ||
