Project 6.5 - Analysis of Electromagnetic Pulse Produced by a Nuclear
Explosion - Charles J. Ong
OBJECTIVE
The objective of Project 6.5 is to obtain weveforms of the electromagnetic radiation for all the detonetions during Operation REDWING,
This data is to be used in connection with a continuing study relating
the wave form parameters to the height and yield of the detonation.
INSTRUMENTATICN
Two identical stations are used to record data, one at Eniwetok
and one at Kwajalein.
The instrumentation consists of a wide-band receiver with separate
outputs connected to each of the three oscilloscopes.
Mounted on each
oscilloscope is a Polariod Land Camera for recording the transient
display.
RESULTS
Station As
Eniwetok
The predicted field strength ee.: 16.0 volts per
meter,
meter.
ey
The measured field strength I 14.4 volts per
‘The general waveform for the 1.0 ~ sec/cm sweep was poor but the
waveforms recorded for the other two scopes were good.
Station B:
Kwajalein
No record date due to the loss of timing with WWVH.
CONCLUSIONS
All date hes been forwarded to Evans Signal Laboratory for final
analysis.
