Susceptibility of personal computer systems to electromagnetic pulses with double exponential character

M. Camp and H. Garbe

Abstract. In this paper the susceptibility of personal computer systems to fast transient electromagnetic pulses with double exponential pulse shapes (EMP, UWB) is determined. The influence of the computer generation, RAM-values, different program states and the pulse shape, as well as the destruction thresholds of single PC-components (CPU, RAM, BIOS, Mainboard) have been investigated.
