EMP Electronic Design Handbook

This handbook provides a state-of-the-art compilation of EMP hardening design information in a format of immediate use to electronic designers. Candidate hardening techniques are identified and their implementation is discussed. Pertinent design data are presented and detailed hardening examples are provided. In many cases the required design data were generated directly for this handbook. The appendix provides a general description of the test program. The handbook is organized in four main sections and 11 chapters. Section I provides a general introduction and overview for EMP hardened design. Section II treats good design practices for all phases of subsystem design. Section III treats specific hardening techniques for subsystems or circuits known to require EMP hardening. Section IV presents examples of the design of specific hardened circuits.
