Abstract

Cables and electronic devices typically employ electromagnetic shields to prevent coupling from external radiation. The imperfect nature of these shields allows external electric and magnetic fields to induce unwanted currents and voltages on the inner conductor by penetrating into the interior regions of the cable. In this paper, we verify a circuit model tool using a previously proposed analytic model, by evaluating induced currents and voltages on the inner conductor of the shielded cable. Additionally, comparisons with experiments are also provided, aimed to validate the proposed circuit model. We foresee that this circuit model will enable coupling between electromagnetic and circuit simulations.

Shielding effectiveness of multiple-shield cables with arbitrary terminations via transmission line analysis

Journal Article Campione, Salvatore ; Basilio, Lorena I. ; Warne, Larry Kevin ; ... - Progress in Electromagnetics Research C

Our paper reports on a transmission-line model for calculating the shielding effectiveness of multiple-shield cables with arbitrary terminations. Since the shields are not perfect conductors and apertures in the shields permit external magnetic and electric fields to penetrate into the interior regions of the cable, we use this model to estimate the effects of the outer shield current and voltage (associated with the external excitation and boundary conditions associated with the external conductor) on the inner conductor current and voltage. It is commonly believed that increasing the number of shields of a cable will improve the shielding performance. But thismore »« less

FAA lightning protection study: lightning-induced transients on buried shielded transmission lines. Final report Jun 1974--Jun 1975

Technical Report Nordgard, J D ; Chen, C

An analysis of induced transient current and voltage pulses on buried shielded transmission lines, due to earth conduction effects of nearby lightning discharges is presented. Two basic analytical methods are presented to describe the various kinds of coupling mechanisms between a lightning discharge to ground and an earth-return transmission line. The transmission line is assumed to be a long straight horizontal coaxial cable with an inner shield and an outer armor, terminated on both ends with typical communication equipment load impedances. The general case is considered in which the outermost conductor is not necessarily in perfect contact with the conductingmore »« less
A FEM approach to shielding effectiveness in braided-shield cables

Journal Article Feliziani, M - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (USA)

The analysis of the coupling between a transient electromagnetic field and a braided-shield cable is a problem of decided importance in electromagnetic compatibility studies. The shield transfer impedance is generally introduced to calculate the effects produced on the inner conductors by the penetration of the magnetic field through the shield and its apertures. This coupling problem is described by the homogeneous Helmholtz equation in terms of the magnetic vector potential. Because of the complex geometry involved a numerical procedure based on the finite element method (FEM) has been developed for a two-dimensional region in the frequency domain.

Self-Shielding Of Transmission Lines

Technical Report Christodoulou, Christos

The use of shielding to contend with noise or harmful EMI/EMR energy is not a new concept. An inevitable trade that must be made for shielding is physical space and weight. Space was often not as much of a painful design trade in older larger systems as they are in today’s smaller systems. Today we are packing in an exponentially growing number of functionality within the same or smaller volumes. As systems become smaller and space within systems become more restricted, the implementation of shielding becomes more problematic. Often, space that was used to design a more mechanically robust componentmore »« less

Time-domain calculation of the leakage of SGEMP transients through braided cable shields

Conference Higgins, D F - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (USA)

This paper presents a time-domain technique for calculating the leakage of SGEMP transients through braided cable shields. Detailed numerical results are given which illustrate the effects of spatial and temporal variations in shield current and voltage on the transient which penetrates the inner conductor of a braided shield cable.
