Transfer impedance measurements have been performed both in
frequency and time domains. CW measurements were performed using a
matched triaxial system, a quintaxial system, and stripline injection.
For nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) purposes, measurements up to a
maximum frequency of 200 MHz are sufficient. For this frequency range
the matched triaxial system was found to be the most

Amplitude and phase measurements in different cables are discussed.
Direct and indirect injection was employed in the time domain
measurements. A delayed coupling is demonstrated when the diffusion term
is dominant in the transfer impedance. In a magnetically shielded cable,
hysteresis and saturation effects have been observed. At 5 kA the
transfer impedance of the magnetically shielded cable increased by an
order of magnitude due to saturation
