Abstract
Lightning warning system plays an important role in protecting human life and other facilities from lightning return strokes. This paper dealt with lightning positioning algorithms and circuits as a main function of lightning warning system, which monitor movements and activities of thunderclouds. Electric field component produced by lightning discharge is detected by the configuration of a whip antenna and a narrow-band resonance amplifier with center frequency of 300[kHz]. Measurement circuit of magnetic field waveform consists of a crossed-loop coil and an integral amplifier, and its frequency bandwidth is ranges from 5[kHz] to 1.2[MHz]. The polarity of lightning discharge is discriminated by electric field component. After-fixing the polarity, we can calculate the direction and distance of lightning discharge by the peak and the zero-cross time of magnetic field waveform.
