Measurements of Electric and Magnetic Fields due to Lightning Strokes Based on Single-station Detection
A simple technique to determine the distance of the lightning strikes using single- station detection is described. The technique is based on ratio of the magnetics field to the electric field generated by the lightning stroke. A wire antenna was used to measure the electric field signals while...

| Summary: | A simple technique to determine the distance of the
lightning strikes using single- station detection is described. The
technique is based on ratio of the magnetics field to the electric
field generated by the lightning stroke. A wire antenna was used
to measure the electric field signals while magnetics loop antenna
was used to measure the electromagnetics signal on the
thunderstorm days. The LabVIEW software was used as a data
logger to measure, analyze and calculate the lightning distance
from the apparatus to the lightning stroke. The detection of the
lightning activity using the developed system has been compared
and validated to the Pekan Lightning Detection System (PLDS). |
