Abstract

To analyze the variation of magnetic field waveforms above rails of the railgun during the launching period, the magnetic fields are measured by loop probes. According to the armature's different moving statements and measurement positions, magnetic waveforms are distinguished with each other. The experiment results show that magnetic field waveforms above the rails change at different positions, and the output voltages of probes become larger with the higher velocities. The truncated waveforms expand the spectrum of signals around the rails. The waveforms at different positions are compared with each other, which can inflect the magnetic field distribution along the rails during the launching period. The results are useful in analyzing the interference of the transient environment for the rail launcher and the electromagnetic interference design of railgun systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
