Shielding Effectiveness of a Closed Cylindrical Surface Simulated by N Dielectric Coated Conducting Strips

Abstract

The paper aims at studying the shielding effectiveness of a closed cylindrical surface simulated by N dielectric coated conducting strips. The far fields of an electric line source in the presence of the simulated surface and in the absence of the surface were calculated, and the ratio between them represents the shielding effectiveness produced around the surface. The solution of the problem was developed based on full wave analysis. Numerical results are presented for circular and square cross-sectional cylindrical surfaces. Comparison with the published data for the radiation from slotted circular cylinder showed excellent agreement. Other useful results for shielding effectiveness are furnished.
