A large-scale coaxial line filled with the plasma of RF discharge has been developed for laboratory modeling of the effects of the interaction of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) with the atmosphere and the ionosphere in the KROT facility. The oversized coaxial line ensures pulse transmission through an ionized medium in the TEM mode, which corresponds to the polarization of the transverse electromagnetic wave in free space, and in uniform isotropic plasma. The coaxial line has a length of 10 m and a diameter of 140 cm. The processes of propagation of the nanosecond and subnanosecond pulses in this line, in vacuum and with plasma, have been simulated numerically.
