Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Electromagnetic Shielding Concepts and Recent Developments in the Field This book describes the fundamental, theoretical, and practical aspects to approach electromagnetic shielding with a problem-solving mind, either at a design stage or in the context of an issue-fixing analysis of an existing configuration. It examines the main shielding mechanisms and how to analyze any shielding configuration, taking into account all the involved aspects. A detailed discussion on the possible choices of parameters suitable to ascertain the performance of a given shielding structure is also presented by considering either a continuous wave EM field source or a transient one. To aid in reader comprehension, both a theoretical and a practical engineering point of view are presented with several examples and applications included at the end of main chapters. Sample topics discussed in the book include: * Concepts in transient shielding including performance parameters and canonical configurations * Time domain performance of shielding structures, thin shields, and overall performance of shielding enclosures (cavities) * How to install adequate barriers around the most sensitive components/systems to reduce or eliminate interference * Details on solving core fundamental issues for electronic and telecommunications systems via electromagnetic shielding For industrial researchers, telecommunications/electrical engineers, and academics studying the design of EM shielding structures, this book serves as an important resource for understanding both the logistics and practical applications of electromagnetic shielding. It also includes all recent developments in the field to help professionals stay ahead of the curve in their respective disciplines.

Preface

This is the second edition of our book Electromagnetic Shielding. As for the first edition, the assumed background of the reader is limited to standard undergraduate topics in physics and mathematics.

This edition has been completely updated according to theoretical and technological progress in the field of electromagnetic shielding: the book now comprises 14 chapters and 4 appendices; an overview of their content is provided next, highlighting the changes with respect to the first edition. Chapter 1 introduces the basic electromagnetic theory behind electromagnetic shielding; the fundamental theorems are now also presented in the time domain, while symmetry, duality, and Babinet principles have been added for their importance in treating classical shielding problems. An introduction to wave equations and potentials and Green functions in the time domain has also been added to cover all the basic tools to analyze transient shielding problems. Chapter 2 describes the arsenal of conventional and less conventional materials for electromagnetic shielding; an entire new paragraph has been devoted to the electromagnetic description of graphene, a material that has become one of the most attractive materials in the field of electromagnetic loss and absorption. Chapter 3 introduces all the figures of merit for a quantitative analysis of the shielding performance of a given structure. Chapter 4 covers the subject of electromagnetic shielding of planar, cylindrical, and spherical screens against plane waves; an entire new paragraph is devoted to presenting examples that help to understand the extension of the transmission line analogy to near-field sources. Chapters 5 and 6 are entirely new. Chapter 5 considers the important topic of near-field sources in the presence of planar screens and provides an extensive introduction to the spectral domain approach. Chapter 6 introduces the reader to the emergent area of transient shielding analysis offering suitable figures of merit, defining the fundamental transient sources, and describing the numerical and analytical approaches to analyze basic configurations. Chapter 7 is a thorough introduction to the principal numerical methods used in electromagnetics and are here presented in connection with electromagnetic shielding problems; moreover, many illustrative examples have been added to present the characteristics of different numerical approaches with particular reference to the analysis of the shielding characteristics of enclosures. Chapter 8 treats the important topic of electromagnetic penetration through apertures in planar screens; the circular aperture is now analyzed in detail, illustrating the very last developments. Enclosures are considered in Chapter 9: the fundamental case of a rectangular enclosure with a rectangular aperture is now described in detail, considering both a numerical solution based on the Method-of-Moments and approximate analytical approaches. Moreover, two entirely new paragraphs have been added to present the overall performance of an enclosure in both frequency and time domains. Chapter 10 consists in a brief introduction to cable shielding, while Chapter 11 deals with the most common components installed in most of shielding configurations. Chapter 12 introduces the important topic of frequency-selective surfaces; here, the analysis has been extended to include not only a plane wave excitation but also a finite source: for this reason, an integral equation formulation for the solution of the electromagnetic problem is presented together with an introduction to the periodic Green function calculation. The literature on this topic is growing almost exponentially, and a plethora of new structures have been proposed so that some new paragraphs have been added to present some of the most recent developments. Finally, Chapter 13 covers some issues in shielding design procedures, while Chapter 14 introduces to some uncommon ways of shielding: in particular, the use of metamaterials has been extensively reviewed.

As in the first edition, two appendices are devoted to electrostatic and magnetostatic shielding. A new Appendix C has been added, which provides an introduction to the use of statistical electromagnetics in electromagnetic shielding, while the last appendix (Appendix D) covers standards and measurement procedures and has been obviously updated with respect to the first edition.

1Electromagnetics Behind Shielding

Shielding an electromagnetic field is a complex and sometimes formidable task. The reasons are many, since the effectiveness of any strategy or technique aimed at the reduction of the electromagnetic field levels in a prescribed region depends largely upon the source characteristics, the shield geometry, and the involved materials. Moreover, as it often happens when common terms are adopted in a technical context, different definitions of shielding exist. In electromagnetics the shielding effectiveness (SE) is a concise parameter generally applied to quantify shielding performance. However, a variety of standards are adopted for the measurement or the assessment of the performance of a given shielding structure. Unfortunately, they all call for very specific conditions in the measurement setup. The results therefore are often useless if the source or system configurations differ even slightly. Last among the difficulties that arise in the solution of actual shielding problems are the difficulties inherent in both the solution of the boundary value problem and the description of the electromagnetic problem in mathematical form.

1.1 Definitions

To establish a common ground, we will begin with some useful definitions. An electromagnetic shield can be defined as [1]:

[A] housing, screen, or other object, usually conducting, that substantially reduces the effect of electric or magnetic fields on one side thereof, upon devices or circuits on the other side.

This definition is restrictive because it implicitly assumes the presence of a “victim.” The definition is also based on the misconception that the source and observation points are in opposite positions with respect to the shield, and it includes the word “substantially” whose meaning is obscure and introduces an unacceptable level of arbitrariness.

Another definition of electromagnetic shielding even more restrictive is [2]:

[A] means of preventing two circuits from electromagnetic coupling by placing at least one of the circuits in a grounded enclosure of magnetic conductive material.

The most appropriate definition entails a broad view of the phenomenon:

[A]ny means used for the reduction of the electromagnetic field in a prescribed region.

Notice that no reference to shape, material, and grounding of the shield is necessary to define its purpose.

In general, electromagnetic shielding represents a way toward the improvement of the electromagnetic-compatibility (EMC) (defined as the capability of electronic equipment or systems to be operated in the intended electromagnetic environment at design levels of efficiency) performance of single devices, apparatus, or systems. Biological systems are included, for which it is correct to talk about health rather than EMC. Electromagnetic shielding is also used to prevent sensitive information from being intercepted, that is, to guarantee communication security.

Electromagnetic shielding is not implemented only for such purposes. Some sort of electromagnetic shielding is almost always used in electrical and electronic systems to reduce their electromagnetic emissions and to increase their electromagnetic immunity against external fields. In cases where the available methodologies for reducing the source levels of electromagnetic emission or strengthening the victim immunity are not available or are not sufficient to ensure the correct operation of devices or systems, a reduction of the coupling between the source and the victim (either present or only potentially present) is often the preferred choice.

The immunity of the victims is generally obtained by means of filters that are analogous to electromagnetic shielding with respect to conducted emissions and immunity. The main advantage of filters is that they are “local” devices. Thus, where the number of sensitive components to be protected is limited, the cost of filtering may be much lower than that of shielding. The main disadvantage of using a filter is that it is able to arrest only interferences whose characteristics (e.g., level or mode of transmission) are different from those of the device, so the correct operation in the presence of some types of interference is not guaranteed. Another serious disadvantage of the filter is its inadequacy or its low efficiency for the prevention of data detection.

In general, designing a filter is much simpler than designing a shield. The filter designer has only to consider the waveform of the interference (in terms of voltage or current) and the values of the input and output impedance [3], whereas the shield designer must include a large amount of input information and constraints, as it will be discussed throughout the book.

Any shielding analysis begins by an accurate examination of the shield geometry [4–7]. Although the identification of the coupling paths between the main space regions is often trivial, sometimes it deserves more care, especially in complex configurations. The complexity of a shield is associated with its shape, apertures, the components identified as the most susceptible, the source characteristics, and so forth. Subdividing its configuration into several subsystems (each simpler than the original one and interacting with the others in a definite way) is always a useful approach to identify critical problems and find ways to fix and improve the overall performance [5]. This approach is based on the assumption that each subsystem can be analyzed, and hence its behavior can be characterized, independently of the others components/subsystems. For instance, in the frequency domain and for a linear subsystem, for each coupling path and for each susceptible element, it is possible to investigate the transfer function relating the external source input and the victim output characteristics as , where represents the subsystem output in the absence of external-source excitation. In the presence of multilevel barriers, the transfer function may ensue from the product of the transfer functions associated with each barrier level.

The foregoing approach can be generalized for a better understanding of the shielding problem in complex configurations. However, it is often sufficient to consider only the most critical subsystems and components, on one hand, and the most important coupling paths, on the other hand, in order to solve the principal shielding problems and thus improve the overall performance [8]. The general approach is obviously suitable in a design context. A complete analysis of the relations between shielding and grounding is left to the specific literature [4, 9–11].

1.2 Notation, Symbology, and Acronyms

The abbreviations and symbols used throughout the book are briefly summarized here in order to make clear the standard we have chosen to adopt. Of course, we will warn the reader anytime an exception occurs.

A physical quantity that depends on time and space variables is indicated with a lowercase letter (e.g., for the electric field). The Fourier transform with respect to the time variable is indicated with the corresponding uppercase letter (e.g., while the Fourier transform with respect to the spatial variables is indicated by a tilde (e.g., ); when the Fourier transform with respect to both time and spatial variables is considered, the two symbologies are combined (e.g., ).

The sets of spatial variables in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates are denoted by , , and , respectively. The boldface Latin letter is used to indicate a unit vector and a subscript is used to indicate its direction: for instance, , , and denote the unit vectors in the rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate system, respectively.

We will use the “del” notation with the suitable product type to indicate gradient (), curl () and divergence operators (); the Laplacian operator is indicated as . The imaginary unit is denoted with and the asterisk as a superscript of a complex quantity denotes its complex conjugate. The real and imaginary parts of a complex quantity are indicated by and , respectively, while the principal argument is indicated by the function .

Finally, throughout the book, the international system of units SI is adopted, electromagnetic is abbreviated as EM, and shielding effectiveness as SE.

1.3 Macroscopic Electromagnetism and Maxwell's Equations

A complete description of the macroscopic electromagnetism is provided by Maxwell's equations whose validity is taken as a postulate. Maxwell's equations can be used either in a differential (local) form or in an integral (global) form, and there has been a long debate over which is the best representation (e.g., David Hilbert preferred the integral form whereas Arnold Sommerfeld found more suitable the differential form, from which special relativity follows more naturally [12]). When stationary media are considered, the main difference between the two representations consists in how they account for discontinuities of materials and/or sources. Basically, if one adopts the differential form, some boundary conditions at surface discontinuities must be postulated; on the other hand, if the integral forms are chosen, one must postulate their validity across such discontinuities [13, 14].

Maxwell's equations can be expressed in scalar, vector, or tensor form, and different vector fields can be considered as fundamental. A full description of all these details can be found, e.g., in [12]. In this book we assume the following differential form of the Maxwell equations:

(1.1)

From these equations the continuity equation can be derived as

(1.2)

In this framework the EM field—described by vectors (electric field, unit of measure V/m), (magnetic field, unit of measure A/m), (electric displacement, unit of measure C/m), and (magnetic induction, unit of measure Wb/m or T)—arises from sources (electric current density, unit of measure A/m) and (electric charge density, unit of measure C/m. Further, except for static fields, if a time can be found before which all the fields and sources are identically zero, the divergence equations in (1.1) are a consequence of the curl equations [12], so under this assumption the curl equations can be taken as independent.

It can be useful to make the Maxwell equations symmetric by introducing fictitious magnetic current and charge densities and (units of measure V/m and Wb/m, respectively), which satisfy a continuity equation similar to (1.2) so that (1.1) can be rewritten as

(1.3)

As it will be shown later, the equivalence principle indeed requires the introduction of such fictitious quantities.

It is also useful to identify in Maxwell's equations some “impressed” source terms, which are independent of the unknown fields and are instead due to other external sources (magnetic sources can be only of this type). Such “impressed” sources are considered as known terms in Maxwell's differential equations and indicated by the subscript “i.” In this connection, (1.3) can be expressed as

(1.4a)
(1.4b)
(1.4c)
(1.4d)

The impressed-source concept is well known in circuit theory. For example, independent voltage sources are voltage excitations that are independent of possible loads.

Although both the sources and the fields cannot have true spatial discontinuities, from a modeling point of view, it is useful to consider additionally sources in one or two dimensions: surface- and line-source densities can be introduced in terms of the Dirac delta distribution , as (singular) idealizations of actual continuous volume densities [12, 15].

Finally, in the frequency domain, Maxwell's curl equations are expressed as

(1.5)

where the uppercase quantities indicate either the Fourier transform or the phasors associated with the corresponding time-domain fields. Note that in this text the following definition of temporal Fourier transform will be adopted:

(1.6)

with the corresponding inverse Fourier transform:

(1.7)

whereas in the phasor domain a time-harmonic dependence is assumed:

(1.8)

where and is the phasor associated with . The same definitions also apply for vector functions.

1.4 Constitutive Relations

By direct inspection of Maxwell's curl equations in (1.1), it is immediately clear that they represent six scalar equations with 15 unknown quantities. With fewer equations than unknowns no unique solution can be identified (the problem is said to be indefinite). The additional equations required to make the problem definite are those that describe the relations among the field quantities , and , enforced by the medium filling the region where the EM phenomena occur. Such relations are called constitutive relations, and they depend on the properties of the medium supporting the EM field.

In non-moving media, with the exclusion of magnetoelectric and chiral materials, the field depends only on the field, depends only on , and depends only on . These dependences are expressed as constitutive relations, with the and fields regarded as causes and the , , and fields as effects.

If a linear combination of causes (with given coefficients) produces a linear combination of effects (with the same coefficients), the medium is said to be linear (otherwise nonlinear). In general, the constitutive relations are described by a set of constitutive parameters and a set of constitutive operators that relate the above-mentioned fields inside a region of space. The constitutive parameters can be constants of proportionality between the fields (the medium is thus said isotropic), or they can be components in a tensor relationship (the medium is said anisotropic). If the constitutive parameters are constant within a certain region of space, the medium is said homogeneous in that region (otherwise, the medium is inhomogeneous). If the constitutive parameters are constant with time, the medium is said stationary (otherwise, the medium is nonstationary).

If the constitutive operators are expressed in terms of time integrals, the medium is said to be temporally dispersive. If these operators involve space integrals, the medium is said to be spatially dispersive. Finally, we note that the constitutive parameters may depend on other nonelectromagnetic properties of the material and external conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.).

The simplest medium is vacuum. In vacuum the following constitutive relations hold:

(1.9)

The quantities H/m1 and F/m are the free-space magnetic permeability and dielectric permittivity, respectively. Their values are related to the speed of light in free space through , whose exact value is m/s; the above two values for correspond to approximating m/s and m/s, respectively.

For a linear, homogeneous, isotropic, and nondispersive material, the constitutive relations can be expressed as

(1.10)

where and are the magnetic permeability and dielectric permittivity of the medium, respectively. These quantities can be related to the corresponding free-space quantities through the dimensionless relative permeability and relative permittivity , such that and . The dimensionless quantities and (known as magnetic and electric susceptibilities, respectively) are also used. The third equation of (1.10) expresses the Ohm law in local form, and is the conductivity of the medium (unit of measure S/m).

For such a simple medium, thanks to (1.10), Maxwell's equations (1.4) can be rewritten as

(1.11a)
(1.11b)
(1.11c)
(1.11d)
