Abstract— This paper describes a simple modification that can be applied to the Impulse-Radiating Antenna (IRA) to modify its output waveform to yield damped sinusoidal waveforms, for possible electromagnetic field testing of infrastructure elements. This modification involves placing several metallic screens in front of the antenna, which serves to transform the fast pseudo-impulse from the antenna into a damped sinusoidal waveform. In this presentation, a short parametric study of wire mesh transfer functions is conducted and the transient waveforms produced by several different meshes are described. Keywords: Impulse Radiating Antenna, wire mesh, damped sinusoids, infrastructure testing. I. INTRODUCTION: High power electromagnetic (HPEM) fields can cause damage or functional upset in targeted systems. SWIRA consists of a parabolic reflector of diameter D = 1.8 m with a focal length F = 0.482 m. II. WIRE MESHES IN FRONT OF SWIRA: Wire meshes with square apertures (dimension a, wire radius r, separation d) transform the SWIRA EM field into a damped sine wave. J. W. Park, C. S. Huh, C. S. Seo, S.

In this study, the malfunction characteristics according to the gate output of the CMOS IC are analyzed when HPM (2.45 GHz) occurs using a magnetron and HD74HC DUT. Malfunction varies with gate output state; offset current is 24mA for both ON and OFF states. In ON state, self-reset and destruction occurred; in OFF state, only destruction occurred. H. Tanaka, Y.
