Abstract :
The threat of intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) has been presented and evaluated in conferences throughout the world. This threat deals with the possibility that intense electromagnetic disturbances may be delivered by criminals or terrorists to the sophisticated electronic systems that are important to our daily lives. This paper provides a summary of the EM threat, a description of the types of threat generators that currently exist, and a summary of the susceptibility levels of commercial electronic equipment. This paper also describes the potential impacts on both wired and wireless communications
