Moini Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2015 10 06 In this paper, shielding effectiveness (SE) of a perforated enclosure with imperfectly conducting walls is <br />evaluated. To this end, first, an accurate numerical technique based on method of Moments (MoM) is<br />presented. In this method, lossy metallic walls of the enclosure are replaced by equivalent electric surface<br />current sources. Then, the impedance boundary condition on the imperfectly conducting surfaces is applied<br />and an electric field integral equation is extracted. At the end, the integral equation is solved numerically by<br />Galerkin method. In addition to the mentioned numerical method, an extremely fast analytical technique<br />based on transmission line model(TLM) is proposed which is able to predict the SE with high level of<br />accuracy over a large frequency bandwidth just in a few seconds.  For validation of both methods, other<br />commercial softwares (FEKO and CST) are employed and several enclosures with different conductivities<br />are studied. Lossy MoM method shows accurate results for conductivities down to 10S/m, while efficient<br />TLM method proves its accuracy for conductivities down to 250S/m. https://eej.aut.ac.ir/article_425_25b2822c2f5a3230abfadd476e8b04c9.pdf
