Abstract

Derivation is presented for analysing the shielding effectiveness of an enclosure with apertures and inner windows with Transmission Line Method (TLM). Theoretical values of shielding effectiveness are in good agreement with the simulation results. Results indicate that the capacitive window lowers the resonance frequency while the inductive window enhances the resonance frequency, and both of them improve the shielding effectiveness of the enclosure. The effects of location of the inner windows is discussed. Moreover, the present method can also be used in the condition that the enclosure has both inductive and capative windows.
