Near-Field Scanning-Based Shielding Effectiveness Extraction for Board-Level Shielding Cans
Abstract
The conventional definition of shielding effectiveness (SE) is well suited for calculations of far-field electromagnetic shielding. However, in the near field, SE calculations are not as straightforward. In radio-frequency interference (RFI) problems, the majority of field coupling occurs in the near field. Thus, a well-defined method for calculating the near-field SE is needed to estimate the suppression of RFI achieved by shielding cans. In this study, a method based on near-field scanning is developed to extract the SE of board-level shielding cans. The SE is defined by modeling the shielded noise source as equivalent dipole moments. The accuracy of the equivalent source is analyzed via the least-square error and correlation coefficient as confidence verification parameters. By applying the reciprocity theorem, the voltage coupled on a planar inverted F antenna from an unshielded and a shielded source is calculated. The coupled voltage from a shielded noise source serves as a reference to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Practical shielding cans were used to develop and validate the SE extraction method using full-wave 3D simulations and measurements.
