Abstract :
This article discusses briefly the characteristics of intense electromagnetic pulses (EMP) vis NEMP, SGEMP and IIPM vis-a-vis their vulnerable effects on electronics systems and protection technology involving electromagnetic shielding and fast surge suppressors. The salient features of intense EMP simulators for the laboratory testing of electronics systems are also covered. Intense pulse power systems with capabilities for generation of electrical pulses of short durations with peak powers at multi-gigawatts are required as energy sources for the generation of intense EMP. The typical electrical pulse parameters are 0.1-10 MV, 10-100 ns and 0.1 GW-100 TW. This article discusses at some depth the concepts and techniques involved in the design and construction of intense pulse power sources viz: primary capacitor storage, primary-intermediate capacitor storage, primary-intermediate-fast capacitor storage, primary inductor storage, cascaded inductor storage, magnetic pulse compression, inductive cavity cell multiplier and induction linac.
