Abstract:
The development of automobile technology is associated with the increase of application of electronic elements. One possible method to stop the vehicle is to disrupt the operation of electronic systems using a high power electromagnetic pulse. This article describes the design idea of a stationary generator of electromagnetic pulses that would be useful for stopping vehicles at checkpoints, at the entrances to the object and in front of sensitive infrastructure. An important aspect of the proposal is the effectiveness of the generator with respect to the electromagnetic immunity of vehicles.
