Abstract :
It is well known that intentional or unintentional electromagnetic interference can cause improper functionality of microwave circuits or systems, and in this paper, we examine transient responses of power dividers illuminated by a high-power EMP. The mathematical treatment is based on modified FDTD method. Numerical calculation is performed to show the EMP impact on the input-output responses of some power dividers which are often used in the integration of monolithic microwave integrated circuits.
