A numerical study of HPEM coupling to a nonlinearly loaded cavity subject to an electric energy storage effect

Abstract

In this contribution we numerically analyze the behavior of a nonlinearly loaded loop antenna inside a resonating environment. As shown by previous research, a transient HPEM excitation can lead to a DC-component in the response of a nonlinearly receiving structure which is attributed to electric energy that is stored during rather long time scales. Oscillations caused by the resonating environment overlap with this DC-component, leading to an overall increased effect.
