Characteristic HPEM Signals for the Detection of IEMI Threats

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

HPEM sources can be threats to electronic equipment and might be used with criminal intent. Therefore, these sources have to be detected. To realize a detection system that is independent of known sources and their parameters, these parameters have to be described in an analytical way. In this work, a sophisticated detection system is briefly presented. For the algorithm of the detection system, this work shows that analytical functions are adequate to describe real HPEM signals.
