Generating High-Intensity Electromagnetic Fields for Radiated-Susceptibility Test

This paper discusses a feasibility study covering the generation of high-intensity electromagnetic fields for radiated susceptibility or ordnance hazard tests. A new type of antenna using an elliptic-cylinder reflector is discussed. The results of laboratory measurements made with such an antenna are displayed graphically and discussed in the text of the paper. The advantages and limitations of this device are discussed. It is demonstrated that such an antenna is feasible, and plans for a proposed follow on effort are discussed.
