Single electromagnetic pulses like lightning, ESD, powerline transients, NEMP, etc., are generally described in time domain, while filters and shields are practically always characterized in frequency domain. This article describes a quick and handy formula and nomogram providing a fair estimate of the filter or shield response to a conducted or radiated threat.

Maintaining the resilience of all critical infrastructure segments, including the electric grid, sensitive data centers and vital communication channels, has become a growing concern globally as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) events continue to threaten society and the operation of business and life as we know it.
