Internal SGEMP and Analytic Representations for the Skynet Structural Model

Internal excitation data from the Skynet exploding wire experiments have been compared with finite difference code particle pushing calculations. Comparison between data and calculations was, for the most part, within the expected uncertainty except for two sensors located in the same section of the satellite. For those two sensors a modeling discrepancy in this satellite section may be the source of disagreement. A simple modal circuit model is shown to have very nearly the same electromagnetic character as the finite difference code model (and presumably the Skynet Structural Model) for a realistic external excitation. Driver models for internal ¿ drivers are suggested. When these models are coupled with the circuit model they agree quite well with the corresponding ¿ driver of the finite difference code SSM mode.
