Abstract

As an alternative evaluation method of electromagnetic shielding properties, the material parameters are considered in determining the qualitative value of shielding effectiveness. The specimens are metallized nylon fabrics with the thickness of about 0.1 mm and the electrical conductivities in the range from 6.4$\times$10~2.4$\times$10(sup)5 mhos/m. On the basis of shielding theory, the shielding effectiveness (which is a sum of reflection loss and absorption loss) has been determined from the material parameters of the barrier sheets. For the conductive fabrics, the dominant shield mechanism is predicted to be reflection loss, which shows an increasing function of electrical conductivity. Comparing these theoretical value with the directly measured surface impedances, the error range is found to be within 10 dB, which demonstrates that the proposed material-parameters method can be a convenient way to determine the electromagnetic shielding properties.

전자파 차폐특성 측정방법의 일환으로 매질의 전기전도도로부터 차폐효과를 정성적 수준에서 예측하는 연구를 수행하였다. 사용된 시편은 전도성 금속 (Cu, Ni)이 피복된 망사형 차폐재로 두께는 0.1 mm 정도이고, 전기전도도는 6.4$\times$10~2.4$\times$10(sup)5 mhos/m 범위 값을 가졌다. 물질상수와 시편의 두께로 표시되는 반사손실 및 흡수손실의 이론식을 도출하고 상기 시편에 대해 차폐효과를 계산하였다. 전도성 피복재의 경우 주된 차폐기구는 반사손실임을 밝힐 수 있었으며, 전기전도도가 증가함에 따라 차폐효과는 현저히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이들 이론치를 임피던스 실측치로부터 계산된 반사손실과 비교한 결과 10 dB 이내의 오차를 보임으로써 제안한 분석방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.
