Abstract :
Human hand/metal ESD is approached as a travelling-wave process, with attention to wave reflection from discontinuities. Human-subject ESD current waveforms and current waveforms computed approximately from swept-frequency impedance measurements illustrate this notion. Time and frequency domain measurements on a physical simulator are presented for comparison.
