Numerical Investigation of Monitoring Antenna Influence on Shielding Effectiveness Characterization
Keywords:
Dipole antenna, enclosure, shielding effectiveness, TLM wire modelAbstract
This paper deals with an impact of receiving antenna placed in a metal enclosure on an electromagnetic field distribution within the enclosure, and thus on its shielding effectiveness. In an experimental setup, a frequently used tool for measuring the electromagnetic field level at certain points within the enclosure is a dipole antenna connected to a measuring instrument via a coaxial cable. For modeling a coupling between the electromagnetic field and antenna in the protective enclosure we use the Transmission-Line Matrix (TLM) method, enhanced with the compact wire model. The numerical model is verified through comparison with the available experimental results and then used to investigate the influence of physical dimensions of dipole antenna and its cable connection on the detected level of shielding effectiveness.
