Original Abstract

In connection with the events of the last few years and with the increased number of terrorist activities, the problem of identification and measurement of electromagnetic weapons or other systems impact occurred. Among these are also microwave sources, which can reach extensive peak power of up to Pmax = 250 MW. Solitary, in some cases several times repeated, impulses lasting from tp = <1, 60> ns, cause the destruction of semiconductor junctions. The problem of security support of the air traffic, transportation, computer nets, banks, national strategic data centers, and other applications crops up. The analysis of the possible measuring methods, convenient for the identification and measurement of the ultra-short solitary electromagnetic pulses is presented in this paper; some of the methods were chosen and used for practical measurement.
