Part of a Broad Line of EMP Protection Solutions that Address Growing Surge Threat
PolyPhaser today released an innovative line of RF surge protection devices engineered and tested to protect equipment from high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) and high-level radio frequency weapons. The PolyPhaser HEMP Tested product family includes solutions that protect sensitive equipment from intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) as specified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
PolyPhaser HEMP Tested protection devices meet the highest military standards (MIL-STD-188-125) and guidelines from the DHS and the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), and are optimized for high-level protection in RF network applications. Innovative and patented PolyPhaser filtering technology ensures long-term non-degrading high performance.
What is HEMP?
Broadly defined, HEMP refers to an Electro-magnetic chain reaction created by a nuclear explosion detonated high above the planet’s surface. The ensuing electromagnetic pulse would have the potential to wreak havoc on communications networks. Growing nuclear threats around the globe push the potential HEMP risk ever higher.
For product testing and reliability purposes, HEMP measurements focus on multiple types of pulses as specified by DHS: E1 in nanoseconds, E2 in microseconds (similar to lightning), and E3, a longer phase potentially lasting minutes on grid systems (similar to a solar flare). PolyPhaser’s RF expertise specifically tackles E4 level EMP, which includes IEMI from nearby sources such as EM/RF weapons.
