NEMP Simulator
MIL-STD-461 RS105 / GJB 151B-2013
一、System Picture
二、System Specification
Montena designs and manufactures NEMP (Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse) simulators according to MIL-STD-461 RS105 (radiated susceptibility).
This standard is applicable to equipment or subsystems located outside a shielded facility. A transient electromagnetic pulse of up to 50 kV/m with a rise time in the nanosecond range is applied to the equipment under test (EUT) at least 5 times. EUT should not exhibit any signs of performance degradation.
The simulator setup mainly consists of a high voltage pulse generator connected to a transmission line ended with distributed resistors. A voltage monitor and various field sensors are used to measure the generator output and the electric and magnetic field impulses. An optical fibre link is required to transmit the signal to the oscilloscope.
三、System Use / Features
● Proven performance with many systems installed worldwide
● Triangular transmission line design with distributed load resistors for bounded wave propagation with minimal reflexion
● Indoor transportable small test systems; outdoor permanent large test installations
● Automated management and test report generation for simple measurement
● Low risk of operator’s handling mistakes
● Other pulse shapes according to other standards such as IEC or national standards on request
● Expertise in the refurbishment of existing old test installations
四、System Parameters
Aero-rad systems include a range of standard size installations for EUT from a height of 50 cm up to large structures such as vehicles or airplanes. The smallest systems are transportable and can be set up and removed in less than 2 hours.
