Recent Advances in High Power Electromagnetics Electromagnetic Waves

We live in a modem world supported by large, complex networks, with examples ranging from financial markets to communication, transportation, and security systems. Sensitive electronics are omnipresent, and high power electromagnetic (HPEM) threats represent an emerging risk that could disrupt the functionality of the complex networks and the critical infrastructure they support. This book describes new advances in HPEM sources, electromagnetic (EM) compatibility and protection against intentional EM interference and detection and mitigation of these 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,
