HDL vertically polarized CW instrumentation system calibration

Abstract

The HDL CW instrumentation system (CWIS) was developed to investigate electromagnetic pulse (EMP) coupling effects to transportable systems. The CWIS was fully calibrated by performing field mapping measurements, in both horizontal and vertical polarizations, of two test volumes. The vertical polarization calibration of the system is emphasized. A brief overview of the system is provided. Field mapping data is presented and analyzed. Measurements on simple electromagnetic shapes are presented and compared to theoretical computations.<>
