Abstract

In this paper, magnetic fields produced by lightning return strokes were investigated and analyzed Magnetic field and its derivatives were measured with two crossed loop antennas. Frequency bandwidths of the magnetic field and its derivative measuring systems are in the range of $270\;[Hz]\;{\sim}\;2.3\;[MHz]$ and $450\;[Hz]\;{\sim}\;2.5\;[MHz]$, and their response sensitivity are 128 [mV/${\mu}T$] and 4.12 [mV/nT//${\mu}s$], respectively. Signals are digitized every 500 [ns], data are automatically recorded by transient signal analyzer(Nicolet Pro. 30) having the resolution of 12 - bit and the length of 5 kilowords, and they are registered at personal computer. Magnetic field and its derivative waveforms associated with lightning return strokes were observed since the summer of 1997 at Inha University in Inchon.
