Title: Perturbation theory to model shielding effectiveness of cavities loaded with electromagnetic dampeners

Abstract

It is notable that a slotted resonant cavity with high-quality factor exhibits interior electromagnetic (EM) fields that may be even larger than the external field. The authors aspire to reduce the cavity's EM fields and quality factor over a frequency band analytically, numerically, and experimentally by introducing microwave absorbing materials in the cavity. A perturbation model approach was developed to estimate the quality factor of loaded cavities, which is validated against full-wave simulations and experiments. Conclusions with 78.7 mils (2 mm) thick ECCOSORB-MCS absorber placed on the inside cavity wall above and below the aperture slot (with only 0.026% cavity volume) result in a reduction of shielding effectiveness >19 dB and reductions in quality factor >91%, providing confirmation of the efficacy of this approach.
