Abstract
The rhombic wire simulator is investigated experimentally and compared at low, intermediate, and high frequencies with both the previously derived theory and the Harvard EMP simulator with its central parallel-plate section and tapered metal- plate feeding and loading ends. Agreement with theory is very good. Similarities and differences are observed between the fields in the working volumes of the rhombic wire and the metal-plate simulators. In general, the rhombic wire simulator provides a field more nearly like that of a traveling transverse wave in unbounded space.Keywords
