  • Abstract
    In accordance with the characteristics of the basic existing electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sources, such as the lightning electromagnetic pulse (LEMP), nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) and electrostatic discharge electromagnetic pulse (ESD EMP), a new type of EMP simulator, the multi-function EMP simulator is presented. It consists of three fundamental parts which can be moved along the rails on the ground. These parts can be combined together or divided each other according to need. It is possible to simulate every mentioned kind of EMP in separate or simultaneously. The EMP simulator described here was tested experimentally. It has such advantages as multifunction performance, low cost and simple configuration.
