Abstract

Arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) have recently been used in the area of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) to duplicate simulator measured waveforms on cable bundles with a high degree of fidelity. Unfortunately, with the advent of MIL-STD-2169A, the operating speed of AWGs does not allow the extension of this approach to address the new threats. A novel, alternative approach for generating these signals on cable bundles that uses white noise sources is presented. Because noise generators are inexpensive and broadband, high-frequency capabilities for the induced transients can be achieved with little technology development
