The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Data Base for EMP External Coupling:system Relatability

This paper describes the external coupling data base prepared by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory for EMP assessment. The data may be used either by electromagnetic specialists or by engineers who may have only limited knowledge of the subject. Data generation by computer code and Transient Electromagnetics Range is described. The modular (generic system) form of the base is outlined, with examples, from a worst-case viewpoint. Validation data for the Range are given. Illustrative simulation test data on a real system are compared to canonical and representative model data. The close agreement validates the links between the real system/ canonical model and real system/representative model. Validation from other test data establishes the wide scope of the base for EMP prediction/estimation.
