In this paper, frequency-domain measurements of magnetic and electric field shielding effectiveness of grid-like spatial shield models exposed to lightning action are presented. Scaled experimental models of nearby and direct lightning strikes are proposed. Models of single-layer and double-layer wire shields of two different mesh widths are examined. Differences between the shielding effectiveness of magnetic and electric fields are discussed. The measurement results are compared to the results of numerical simulations.Index Terms-Grid-like spatial shield, lightning electromagnetic pulse (LEMP), measurements, numerical simulation, shielding effectiveness.
Abstract:A new technique for approximate evaluation of a small slotted enclosure shielding effectiveness (SE) is proposed. The enclosure under test is equipped with a built-in, rotating, conductive stirrer, and the SE is determined for discrete angles of the stirrer position. The SE characteristics computed in the frequency domain for the enclosure with the stirrer are compared to those of the enclosure containing different arrangements of printed circuit boards. The paper concludes that the inclusion of an internal stirrer is a potentially beneficial approach to shielding effectiveness testing.
