An aircraft flying in the vicinity of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) acts like a receiving antenna and picks up EMP radiation in relation to size like a dipole (or half-wavelength dipole). | EMP AIRCRAFT DIMENSIONS An aircraft flying in the vicinity of an electromagnetic pulse EMP acts like a receiving antenna and picks up EMP radiation in relation to size like a dipole or half-wavelength dipole . The electromagnetic pulse spectrum decreases above 1 MHz as shown in Figure 1 so an F-14 aircraft that is an optimum A wavelength antenna at .8 MHz will pick up less EMP voltage than a B-52 or an aircraft with a trailing wire antenna. A rule of thumb for the voltage picked up is Vemp 8.1 volts ft times the maximum dimension of the aircraft in feet This rule of thumb was generated because a single linear relationship between voltage and aperture seemed to exist and compared favorably with more complex calculations for voltage picked up by various aircraft when subjected to EMP. Table 1 shows various aircraft and the frequencies they would be most susceptible to using f c 8 where 8 matches the selected aircraft dimension for maximum antenna reception effect . This should be a design consideration when trying to screen onboard avionics from the effects of EMP.
