Abstract
An alternative approach for calibration of lightning location systems is proposed. The basis of the method is a new electronic device that performs non-direct measurement and register of lightning current parameters, including waveshape and instant of occurrence. Circuit diagrams and the device operation are described. Preliminary experimental results are presented.
