Project 6.5 — Analysis of the Electromagnetic Pulse Produced by a Nuclear
Explosion - C, J. Ong
OBJECTIVE
The objective of Project 6.5 is to obtain waveforms of the electromagnetic radiation for all the detonations during Operation REDWING.
This data is to be used in conrection with a continuing study relating
the waveform parameters to the height and yield of the detonation,
INSTRUMENTATION
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 conrected to each of the three oscilloscopes,
Mounted on each
oscilloscope is a Polaroid Land Camera for recording the transient display,
RESULTS
Station A - Parry Island
Data was recorded on two oscilloscopes,
The camera shutter on
the third oscilloscope did not open and the data was not xecorded.
