Properties of Induced Transients Associated with EM Fields Produced by Lightning or Other Relatively Slow Rise-Time EMP

Abstract

When an aircraft encounters lightning, the resulting transients that appear on aircraft wiring contain several components. This paper discusses the interrelation between the length of a thin-wire scatterer and the magnitude and waveshape of the current induced on the scatterer by the EM field of a fixed waveshape, relatively slow rise time, double­ exponential EMP.
