  2. Nuclear electromagnetic pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse

    A nuclear electromagnetic pulse (nuclear EMP or NEMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation created by a nuclear explosion.The resulting rapidly varying electric and magnetic fields may couple with electrical and electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.

  3. Electromagnetic pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse

    An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also referred to as a transient electromagnetic disturbance (TED), is a brief burst of electromagnetic energy. The origin of an EMP can be natural or artificial, and can occur as an electromagnetic field , as an electric field , as a magnetic field , or as a conducted electric current .

  4. Electromagnetic compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_compatibility

    An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), sometimes called a transient disturbance, is a short-duration pulse of energy. This energy is usually broadband by nature, although it often excites a relatively narrow-band damped sine wave response in the victim. Pulse signals divide broadly into isolated and repetitive events.

  5. Voltage spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_spike

    Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) with electromagnetic energy distributed typically up to the 100 kHz and 1 MHz frequency range. Inductive spikes In the design of critical infrastructure and military hardware, one concern is of pulses produced by nuclear explosions , whose nuclear electromagnetic pulses distribute large energies in frequencies from ...

  6. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    In this example there are 1000 pulses per second (one kilohertz pulse rate) with a gated pulse width of 42 μs. The pulse packet frequency in this example is 27.125 MHz of RF energy. The duty cycle for a pulsed radio frequency is the percent time the RF packet is on, 4.2% for this example ([0.042 ms × 1000 pulses divided by 1000 ms/s] × 100).

  7. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    The pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar . In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of ...

  8. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_electromagnetic...

    Pulsed magnetic therapy, pulse magnetotherapy (PEMF) [ edit on Wikidata ] Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy ( PEMFT , or PEMF therapy ), also known as low field magnetic stimulation ( LFMS ) is the use of electromagnetic fields in an attempt to heal non-union fractures and depression .

  9. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    They provide less attenuation of outgoing transmissions than incoming: they can block electromagnetic pulse (EMP) waves from natural phenomena very effectively, but especially in upper frequencies, a tracking device may be able to penetrate from within the cage (e.g., some cell phones operate at various radio frequencies so while one frequency ...
