Garbe %J Advances in Radio Science : Kleinheubacher Berichte %D 2004 %I Copernicus Publications %X In this paper the susceptibility of personal computer systems to fast transient electromagnetic pulses with double exponential pulse shapes (EMP, UWB) is determined. The influence of the computer generation, RAM-values, different program states and the pulse shape, as well as the destruction thresholds of single PC-components (CPU, RAM, BIOS, Mainboard) have been investigated. %U http://www.adv-radio-sci.net/2/63/2004/ars-2-63-2004.pdf
