Abstract
This paper examines with statistical analysis of transient response for typical vehicle mounted antenna - monopole on conductive plane varying multiple random field parameter distributions of high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) by employing the combinations of Method of Moment (MoM) method and a high computational efficiency statistical analysis tool called polynomial chaos expansion method (PCEM).The main procedures of the combination method are composed of two following steps: Firstly, the frequency-domain transfer function of the antenna port response for the monopole is derived by using MoM and then the transient current response is obtained with inverse Fourier transform; Secondly, the statistical model with multiple random input parameters are calculated by PCEM according to the transient response data. The statistical indicators of the model concentrate on the confidence interval of the transient response, the Probability Density Function (PDF) and Cumulative Probability Density Function (CDF) of the current peak. The paper not only focuses on the random radiated field parameter such as elevation, azimuthal angle, polarization angle and magnetic dip angle but also considers height of burst, ratios of plane length versus antenna height, and antenna down-tilt angles. The analysis results demonstrate the validation of the proposed statistical method and provide the reference base for system HEMP survivability evaluation and protection design.
