Recent Advances in High-Power Electromagnetics

Edited by Felix Vega, Nicolas Mora, Edl Schamiloglu, Chaouki Kasmi

We live in a modern world supported by large, complex networks, with examples ranging from financial markets to communication, transportation, and security systems. As sensitive electronics become increasingly integrated into every aspect of these infrastructures, the risk posed by high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) threats is growing. This book describes new advancements in HPEM sources, electromagnetic compatibility, and strategies for protecting against intentional EM interference. It also provides insights into the detection, mitigation, and resilience-building techniques necessary to safeguard these essential networks against emerging electromagnetic threats.

This book is an edited selection of invited papers that have been updated and expanded from the 2022 GlobalEM Conference. It offers an in-depth overview of the state of the art in high-power electromagnetics, including high-power microwave and ultrawideband sources, intentional electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic compatibility, and detection methods for IEMI threats.

The book will help readers working in high-power electromagnetics and related fields to:

  • Understand the capabilities of modern HPEM sources;
  • Understand the threats represented by HPEM on modern critical infrastructures, systems, and equipment;
  • Identify the coupling mechanisms of different HPEM sources in different scenarios;
  • Identify the efficacy of shielding, filtering, hardening and other protection mechanisms.
