SEECS Colloquium

Electromagnetic coupling can adversely impact a multitude of applications ranging from modern telecommunications systems to sophisticated electronic warfare equipment. In these applications, the primary coupling issues are electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and interference (EMI). The evaluation of the shielding effectiveness of metallic enclosures is a classical topic of the EMC literature. In this talk, a hybrid MoM/FEM model of coupling to thin-wire structures in complex cavities will be presented. The slot has width and depth, the wires have arbitrary position and orientation within the coupled region, and the cavity walls are lossy. By varying the slot/wires/cavity geometries the respective resonance interactions are examined.
