Abstract:

A shielded multiwire cable theory is presented in support of the Multiple Systems Evaluation Program MSEP goal of characterizing EMP penetration sources for Army tactical systems. The development is supported by a preliminary code and a comprehensive program of experimental testing. An existing cable code provides all system EMP and shield penetration interactions restricting the development to the problems unique in transitioning from the single to the multiple wire shielded cable. The approach is based on the solution of the infinite line problem by using electromagnetic theory and a generalization to the finite cable by using electric circuit theory. Author
