Description
To address the need for High Power Microwave (HPM) field mapping via a multiple sensor platform Verus Research proposes the development of the Electro-magnetic Multiple Acquisition Point (EMAP) system. EMAP leverages Verus Research’s experience with HPM sensors to design and implement an array of sensor nodes that can detect and record HPM field strength and provide field map data. Each EMAP sensor is capable of surviving and operating in high field strength environments. Each node is capable of capturing signals with frequency from 100 kHz to 20 GHz and with short pulse width durations. The captured data is stored locally for post-test retrieval or can be transmitted via fiber optics to a data collection system. The EMAP nodes can be networked together to form large arrays collectively gathering field map data. Leveraging prior field mapping techniques and software EMAP will be able to provide extensive field maps with a limited number of test shots and will support single shot mapping.
