Abstract
In instrumentation systems, shielding is the main issue that judges the performance of the system. The electromagnetic (EM) noise may affect the performance of the instrumentation system if inadequate protection is reached. It is considered the main source of unprotectable interference that may affect these systems in many cases. In this paper, shielding is attained by wrapping the source carrying signal with periodic thin conductive strips separated by slots or openings. This arrangement will protect the sources from the outside EM fields. Shielding factor and shielding efficiency are studied by extracting magnetic fields. For this purpose, an analytical solution based on solving Laplace’s equation for the magnetic vector potential in the region of interest is presented. A closed form of the induced eddy current in the conductive strips is calculated based on Fourier series expansion. Furthermore, numerical simulation using the commercial software MWS CST is employed to validate the analytical solution. The performance of the proposed shielding structure is studied and analyzed in terms of shielding factor and shielding efficiency. The outcomes of both methods are showing very good agreement.
