Abstract :
Twelve planar printed circuit board samples and four cable samples were exposed to a distributed electron source of 150 keV to 2.5 MeV at 4.5 pA/cm2 and were monitored for electron-caused EMP. Discharges were recorded on 10 of the 16 samples during the first 18 hours of testing (total incident fluence equaled 1.8 × 1012 e/cm2).
