ABSTRACT: The
transient response of a system of independent electrodes buried in a
semi-infinite conducting medium is studied. Using a simple and versatile
numerical scheme written by the authors and based on the Electric Field
Integral Equation (EFIE), the effect caused by harmonic signals ranging on
frequency from Hz to hundred of MHz, and also by lightning type driving signal
striking at a remote point far from the conductors, is extensively studied. The
value of the scalar potential appearing on the electrodes as a function of the
frequency of the applied signal is one of the variables investigated. Other
features such as the input impedance at the injection point of the signal and
the Ground Potential Rise (GPR) over the electrode system are also discussed.
