Can we control the shape of electromagnetic pulse as radiated from a slot antenna in a given direction? This problem has been resolved in the present paper, where a straightforward signal-processing technique is described analytically and successfully validated numerically.

This paper demonstrates how probe effects deteriorate mTRL-calibrated S-parameter measurements of conductor-backed CPW structures. A thorough study of CB-CPWs through field analysis is presented and for the first time an analytical description to predict the occurrence of ripples and resonance effects taking the probe geometries into account is presented. The analytical description is verified by em simulation and measurement for two different substrate materials, i.e. fused silica and alumina.

The use of high-power electromagnetic sources to disrupt or maliciously damage electronic devices in critical power infrastructures is growing in concern. This paper presents a vulnerability study where a digital protection relay is exposed to high-power electromagnetic interference signals. The results reveal failures of this device that can impact the operation of power substations.
