Measured electrostatic discharge currents modeling and simulation

Analytically extended function (AEF) for modeling measured electrostatic discharge (ESD) currents is presented in this paper. This function is used for the IEC 61000-4-2 Standard current and AEF parameters are calculated using least-squares method. Procedure of obtaining function parameters is simple for experimentally measured multi-peaked functions, such as lightning and other ESD currents. Simulation of ESD currents is done by simple electric circuits and using MATLAB.
