Abstract :
Induced ESD happened at a small air gap on the floating metal object during electrostatic fields in changing. At the ESD, ultra short impulsive fields are emanated from the metal object. Strength and polarity of the impulsive fields are experimentally analyzed. This radiated impulsive field may strong contribute to GMR head damage.
