Abstract

The ultra-short pulsed electromagnetic radiation is relatively new kind of man-made electromagnetic radiation featuring by the pulse duration less than 10 ns. Such radiation forms an obstacle with a spectrum width up to several GHz. It is known that the ultra-short electromagnetic pulse is most dangerous because of its high penetration capability due to continuous filling of the spectrum.

Ultra-short electromagnetic pulse (EMP) can have a significant impact on the operation of the modern devices with information pulses durations is comparable with the pulse durations of the EMP. Ultra-short EMP has an impact on the majority of modern wireless broadband data transmission devices, due to interference of overlapping the EMP spectrum of operating frequencies. There are two channels of EMP influence on electronic devices:

— Pulse broadband interference

— Surge of electromagnetic energy

This gives us grounds to consider the potential impact of ultra-short EMP through the foster paths of the devices due to the bandwidth pulse spectrum as well as a direct effect of electromagnetic radiation on hardware (the conductive structure), due to the high concentrated energy of the pulse. Influence on the reception paths of the devices due to the fact that on working frequencies in the reception paths gets part of the generated by EMP broadband interference. The most interesting fact is ultra-short complex sequence pulses with a relatively low pulse repetition frequency package and a short interval between pulses in the package can be regarded as the least expensive energy, but the most dangerous EMP when exposed to radio-electronic devices. The further study of the EMP impact on the radio-electronic devices will identify their vulnerabilities and minimize the impact of EMP.
