Abstract

Critical infrastructure systems in defense, energy, and related fields should be tested against multiple threats, among them, high-power microwave interference and IEMI resilience [1].

Laboratory equipment for emulating these threats requires specialized high-power electromagnetic radiators, capable of producing high-power illuminating fields in controlled conditions.

This chapter presents a demonstrator of a High-Power Electromagnetic Radiator operating in the L band for Remote Induction of Disturbance for Access Denial (RIDAD). The system is intended to be a cost-effective narrowband device for testing high-power electromagnetic effects on electronic equipment in laboratory conditions.

The chapter provides detailed information about the design and integration of several of the subsystems used, namely power source, cooling system, mode converter, horn antenna and lens; and other ancillary system.

Measurements conducted in an anechoic chamber show that the system delivered an electric field of 60 kV/m, normalized at 1 m distance, at a frequency of 1.3 GHz.
