We design a small nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) simulator to study the immunity of core electronic components in high-altitude electro-magnetic pulse (HEMP) environments. The NEMP simulator comprises of a power device, a high-voltage charging part, a pulse-shaping part, and the input taper. The performance of the proposed simulator is verified by the actual experimental results. The positive and negative polarities for the mono pulse output of a transient pulse generator are checked against the standard. The field uniformity of the proposed NEMP simulator is 1.6 dB and fully meets the standard.
