Electromagnetic Effects and Threats

Since the early nineties, the INT has focused its research on threats caused by novel electromagnetic effects, particularly by high power electromagnetics (HPEM):

• Development of measurement techniques for microwave coupling measurements (probes, antennas, analyzer systems, mode-stirred chambers)
• Fixed and mobile irradiation facilities for medium and high power pulsed microwaves
• EMC measurement technology for modern materials (CFRP, GRP)
• EMC measurement technology and methods in view of the »generalized EMC« incl. HPEM protection and for the higher gigahertz range
• Theoretical-physical research on HPEM generation and propagation as well as on criminal and terrorist HPEM threat scenarios
• Analyzing new technological developments in the area of electromagnetic effects (terahertz radiation, metamaterials).
