Waveform Bounding and Combination Techniques for Direct Drive Testing

This paper presents various methods to combine a set of measured test signals into a composite signal. The composite signal represents the set of measured test signals by retaining the significant attributes of the original set of measured test data. The composite waveforms are generated to obtain rigorous direct drive waveforms used during aircraft lightning and EMP assessments. Here we propose two techniques and a hybrid method to synthesize the composite waveforms.
