Project 6.5 = Analysis of Flectrcmagnetic Pulse Produced by a Mucleer
Beplosion - Charles J. Ong
OBJECTIVE
The objective of Project 6.5 is to obtain waveforms of the electro—
magnetic radiation for al2 the detonations during Operation REDWINC.
Thie data is to be used in connection with s continuing study relating
the vave form parameters to the height and yield of the detonation.
ABSTEGMENTATION
Two identioal stations are used to record date, one at Enivetok
end one at Kwajalein.
The instrumentation consists of a wide-bend receiver with separate
outputs connected to each of the three oscilloscones.
Mounted on each
oscilloscope is a Polariod Lend Cemera for recording the transient
display.
BESULIS
Ar
The predicted field strength for the
ae 16,0 volts per
meter.
The measured field strength for the
@ 14.4 voits per
meter.
The general vevefora for the 1.0 ~ sec/om sveep was poor but the
waveforms recorded for the other tvo scopes vere good.
Br
No record dete due to the loss of tizing with WWVH.
COBCLUSTONS
All date has been forwarded to Fvans Signal Laboratory for final
analysis.
