Abstract
The generation of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) by a nuclear burst in the exosphere is described. The effects of the EMP on various devices and systems are of concern to the communications/ electronics community. Lightning protection systems do not offer assured protection from EMP induced voltages. Methods of testing are discussed briefly and simulators are described. Protective measures are based on techniques presently in use by EMC engineers.
