Abstract

The usability of the EMT (Electromagnetic Topology) method is discussed and verified in this paper. The EMT results are compared to the results from a 3D fullwave electromagnetic solver. The electromagnetic wave shows a very fast rise time in the EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) signal; the SUT (System Under Test) is a simple PCB strip line model. The resistances of the loads attached to each side of the strip line were 1 MΩ and 50 Ω. We then obtained the noise voltages occurring in each load when being penetrated by an EMP. We also discuss the frequency sweeps used to obtain the resonant frequencies of the model. The results agree well with those from the CST Microwave Studio. The EMT method would be more accurate if the dielectric tangent loss and copper loss are considered.
