A parallel finite difference time domain (FDTD) method combined with perfectly magnetic conductor (PMC) image method and CST software is firstly presented for computing the leakage field ( including sideward and backward leakage field) from vertically polarized bounded wave electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulator with distributed load. The results got from simulation agree well with those from experiment. Numerical results show that the leakage field’s peak-value near the ground reaches maximum in the direction of height, but there’s little difference of leakage fields’ peak-values at the testing points under 1.5 m height and far away from the simulator; The peak-values of sideward leakage field from simulator’s transitional section are larger than those from distributed load section, both of them are larger than the backward leakage field from the end of distributed load section, as the testing point is near the simulator, and the backward leakage field may be larger than those sideward leakage fields, as the vertically distance between the testing point and the simulator increases; The regularity conclusion suits for the simulator with different double exponential source. The more excited source component in high frequency domain, the larger backward leakage field in some distance domain. The leakage field from the simulator increases, as ground’s conductivity increases.
